TechCrunch Disrupt finalist Voxy, an service that lets you learn a language "from life" has just updated its iPhone app in the App Store, with one pretty disruptive difference; Voxy's ESL app Aprende ingls now uses your location to help you learn a language, presenting you with the related vocabulary, as well things you hear and things you say if you're at a restaurant, for example.The app uses the SimpleGeo platform to bring users context-based lessons for about 150 points of interest including barbershops, dentist's offices, banks, grocery shopping and more. Each lesson is built so a user can complete it in three minutes, so as not to detract from the actual experience of being in a restuarant.
