About Hello Zenno
Meet the human (& friendly alien) behind our language learning assistant

The Story Behind Hello Zenno
Hello Zenno began as a personal quest to crack intermediate Greek.
"I've always dreamed of a tool that would help me read stories in another language with the help of a magic dictionary, then hammer the same words into my ears."
Our Philosophy
Comprehension before production
Inspired by Krashen's theories, we emphasize understanding before speaking. This allows you to build a strong foundation by absorbing language naturally.
Etymology sticks
Stories of word origins forge powerful memory hooks. By understanding how words evolved, you create lasting connections between languages and concepts.
Open knowledge
Our code and (where licensing allows) data are public. We believe in sharing resources to enable community-driven language learning innovation.
