Our Story

SpanishDictionary.com was founded by Jeremy and Martha Cummings in 1999 as one of the Internet’s earliest Spanish-English dictionaries. Shortly after, Chris Cummings became CEO of SpanishDictionary.com and, under his direction, the product grew to serve more than 100 million users each year, making it the world’s largest Spanish-English learning website! Over time, other products were created by Curiosity Media, which generated rapid growth for the company.
These include:

In 2013, Curiosity Media launched Fluencia, which empowers users to learn at their own pace with interactive exercises, step-by-step instruction, and personalized feedback.

In 2015, Curiosity Media created PubNation, a platform designed to help digital publishers ensure that the ads appearing on their websites weren’t ugly, slow, or distracting. PubNation was acquired by OpenX in 2017.

In 2021, Curiosity Media launched inglés.com, SpanishDictionary.com’s companion site for Spanish speakers learning English.

In May 2022, Curiosity Media was acquired by IXL Learning. Since its founding in 1998, IXL Learning’s mission has been to improve learning for all and to apply technology in thoughtful and innovative ways to unlock students’ innate curiosity, creativity, and desire for knowledge. IXL Learning helps students all over the world learn more, and love learning, by creating deeply engaging and fulfilling educational experiences. This mission resonates with Curiosity Media’s goal to bring free, high-quality reference and education products to every Spanish-English learner in the world.
