Different research shows that athletes who cannot communicate in English miss out on complex training strategies and endorsement deals, may struggle to implement coaching instructions, and have difficulties with media relations. We believe that language should never be the reason anyone holds back from success. Promova for Good, our charitable project that has been running since 2023 and supports people who face real language barriers — displaced communities and underserved populations — has united with the Usyk Foundation to give 1,000 free Promova Premium memberships to athletes around the world. Half of the spots go to athletes from the boxing community. The other half are open to any sport, any discipline, and any country. Recipients get a full year of access to Promova's self-learning tools — real-life vocabulary, AI-powered speaking and pronunciation practice, and everything else that helps people actually start speaking one of the 13 languages in the app. The goal is practical: remove language barriers for athletes who compete, train, or travel internationally. To apply, athletes fill out a short application form where they describe how a foreign language can help them thrive on the global stage. Applications are open now. Share with those who might benefit from the program. Link in the first comment. #LanguageLearning #SayItAnyway

A normal day for our Chief Discipline Officer Oleksandr Usyk — the person who exists specifically so the rest of us stay sharp 🤙 Add these to your calendar: morning workout, an actual lunch (yes, a real one!), and a team sync. Proof that a good schedule is possible, you're welcome.

If the world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk fits language learning into his fight prep, what's your excuse?) The Associated Press sat down with Oleksandr Usyk, who shared that studying English with Promova has become part of his cognitive training before a fight. Translating words under pressure, he says, is as much of a workout for the brain as sparring is for the body. Thanks to James Robson for this one.

Millennials are out here planning trips to Japan, spending their entire savings on ceremonial matcha, and loooove "Japanese minimalism" before they discover that it means 47 fonts and color palettes for every picture. We at Promova get it more than most 🙂↕️ Because honestly? We're a little obsessed too. So before launching Japanese in our app, we: hosted a lecture from our Head of Design Sergii Filonenko on the aesthetics of Japanese design, ate mochi cake and held a Japanese calligraphy class. The course is built for fellow obsessives. Whether you want to watch anime without subtitles, finally read a menu when you make it to Tokyo, or just give your midlife crisis a really beautiful aesthetic — Japanese is now on Promova (link in the comments 🥲). ps: and if you know what "dattebayo" means — drop 🍜 in the comments

Another big team chose Promova for Business — and we're glad it's UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group. If your teams need Business English and AI speaking practice, you know where to find us 🙂↕️ 👇
We welcome UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group as a Promova for Business client! Ukrsibbank already has online lessons with teachers, but they were looking for a way to make learning more accessible at scale — on their own schedule, with no fixed sessions or coordination, just learning that fits into the flow of a working day. The focus for their teams is Business English and speaking confidence, particularly for roles that involve cross-border communication. That's where Promova's AI speaking practice comes in — real conversation scenarios, available whenever someone has a few minutes, without the pressure of a live session. The L&D team tracks it all through their own dashboard — who's activated, how engaged, how far along in real time. For companies that want visibility into whether a learning program is actually working, that transparency matters. Curious how this could look for your team? Find the details in the link in the comments or DM us ✍

And how much does your AI cost?!
One senior developer's salary buys unlimited (or almost 😅 ) AI for the entire org. That's not an anti-hiring argument. It's the only honest framing for AI ROI — and most teams aren't actually measuring it. "How much we spent" isn't the metric. Cost per PR. Cost per commit. Cache leverage. Hourly burn vs subscription cost. If you can't pull those numbers in 30 seconds, your AI spend is a black box with a bill at the end of the month. Here's the stack we run on top of Claude Code CLI + Cowork to turn AI ROI into a number instead 👇

We blinked — and four months passed 👀 Apparently we were busy. New features, AI hackathons, B2B partnerships, internal promotions, and a new office in Kyiv. The kind of quarter where you look back and go "wait, all of that happened?" 🚀 Swipe through — a few highlights, some numbers, and yes — a few Spider-Men.
