I IXL Learning whose products are used by more than 13 million students, recently announced that it has acquired language learning software developer Curiosity Media. Curiosity Media's acquisition includes its flagship products SpanishDict, inglés.com, and Fluencia.

SpanishDict debuted in 1999 and has since grown to become the world's most popular destination for Spanish-language learners, reaching more than 100 million people each year.

Speaking to the media, Paul Mishkin, CEO of IXL Learning quoted, “learning a language isn’t just about building another skill set—it can also be an exciting journey that sharpens the mind, adds new dimensions to who we are and changes the way we view other people. Curiosity Media has done an outstanding job at bridging the space between the impact of languages and enthusiasm of learners, and our aim is to expand its reach even further.”
