About the Story & Team Behind Lingumi
Learn more about the people and the story behind Lingumi.
The idea for Lingumi started 5 years ago.
"Working as an English teacher, parents often asked me, 'what can I do at home with the little one?'"
I studied Modern Languages at Oxford, and am passionate about learning, and teaching, languages. From when I was a toddler, I wanted to be able to communicate with people from around the world.
Working as an English teacher in Russia and Italy, I saw how hard children found it to begin English at 6 or 7 years old, in a group of 20-30. I had learned from my academic advisors that the best time to begin learning a second language is in early childhood, before the brain loses its amazing, absorbent ability to learn languages.
