# Economy

The LetMeSpeak economy is designed to boost people's motivation and learning results.

A Web2 language learning economy typically works in the following way:

* Value flows one way. You exchange money for a learning experience. 
* You don't have any control over the economy, company directors and shareholders do. 
* You do not enter into economic relationships with other system participants.

The LetMeSpeak Web3 economy works very differently:

* Values flow both ways. From you to the ecosystem and from the ecosystem to you. 
* You can influence governance of the ecosystem. 
* You enter into economic relationships with other ecosystem participants.

[Results](https://whitepaper.letmespeak.org/play-learn-and-earn/educational-impact) of the LetMeSpeak economy on motivating people to learn speak for themselves. 60% of Learn & Earn users keep learning 30 days after starting. In comparison with 14% for Pay Upfront Web2 users.

Let's now look in detail at our vision for the LetMeSpeak economy.
