Through simple daily learning tasks, social features, and authentic audio stories, Talo strives to help users feel more in tune with their familys cultures. Whether youre a 2nd generation immigrant, a wife with mixed kids, or a fiancé looking to learn about his soon to be wifes culture, Talo is a great place to engage with your culture.
There are several situations that may cause a person to feel disconnected from a culture they wish to engage with:
- You are 2nd or 3rd generation and your parents prioritized you getting a customed to your new home countrys way of life.
- You are introduced to a culture through a new relationship; wife, kids, friends, etc.
- You reside in an area with little to no presence of your culture.
While there are many solutions out there:
- Online courses - Too formal. No soul or social connection.
- Language Learning Apps - While language is one of the main portions of a culture, it isnt the only aspect.
- Meetups - There isnt always an event in your area, can be overwhelming for introverts, and they arent always consistent.
- Facebook Groups - Great for finding people, but again not always in your area, no in depth learning, and people dont often engage.
They dont solve the core problem, which is that people feel disconnected. They want to feel comfortable around other people like them. They want to educate themselves on their familys culture. They want to be around people just like them. This problem of disconnection is more than learning a new language. People need a place or service that no matter where they are in the world, no matter what their educational background is, they can consistently learn about their culture and engage with those part of it any time. And this needs to be as simple as possible. This is the goal of Talo. To be that place.
