Hi, I’m Christina — language teacher, lifelong learner, and founder of Love to Lingo.
I created this space to help people learn languages in a way that actually works for them. Whether you’re starting from scratch or trying to finally get fluent, I’m here to support you with tools, structure, and encouragement.
At Love to Lingo, I believe in helping people find what works for them. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to keep going.
This project grew from my own experiences, both as a language learner and as a teacher. It’s about making space for the kind of learning that feels personal, meaningful, and doable in real life.
My Language Learning Story
Like a lot of people, I studied French for years in school. I could recite 17th-century poetry by heart, but when I moved to France, I struggled to have a real conversation. Over time, I found my way forward. Then I moved to Spain and taught myself Spanish without classes or textbooks.
Both times, I realized it wasn’t about finding a “perfect” method. It was about showing up consistently, tracking what I was learning, and reflecting on what was working.
Later, as an English teacher, I worked with all kinds of students. Some made fast progress. Others didn’t, even though they were trying just as hard. That’s what led me to dig deeper into how people actually learn languages and what kind of support makes a difference.
Why I Created Love to Lingo
There’s a lot of noise out there about the “best” way to learn a language. In my experience, most learners just need a few simple tools, a bit of guidance, and the freedom to choose their own path. That’s what I try to offer through Love to Lingo.
This isn’t about flashy hacks or magic shortcuts. It’s about helping you stay consistent, stay connected, and feel proud of the progress you’re making.
My Values
At Love to Lingo, everything we do is guided by these core values:
Autonomy
Autonomy builds on empowerment. Language learners need the tools, confidence, and knowledge to take control of their own journey. You don’t have to wait for permission or follow someone else’s path.
Personal Growth
Learning a language is about more than grammar and vocabulary. It helps you build discipline, curiosity, and courage, which are skills that enrich every part of your life.
Connection
Language connects us. To each other. To ourselves. To ideas, stories, and perspectives we might otherwise never encounter. That’s what makes it worth the effort.
Let's Learn together
Love to Lingo is here to support your journey, wherever you’re starting from. If you’re learning a language or helping others learn, I’d love to have you in the community.
