Meet the person behind Hundred Words
The Why 100 words page now introduces Mark Ashworth, who built the site from 25 years of living and travelling across Asia, and adds more research behind the approach.
What you can do now
- Read who built the site, why, and the idea behind it: learn the words for the situations you will be in.
- See two more research findings, on learning for a specific situation and on how fast we forget.
- See the 30 countries and territories the scenes are drawn from, with links to the ones you can learn here.
Why we made this change
Language advice is only as good as the person giving it. You can see the trips behind every scene and decide how much to trust them.
