In this crisis, disruption and innovation are happening all around us, especially in education. Leslie and Mark Begert recently launched Fabulingua, a language learning app that mixes animated story telling with simultaneous translation. The Fabulingua origin story is inspiring, the platform and its methodology are super engaging, and the scaling possibilities are exciting.

Teaching your kids a second language can at times seem impossible. You lose your child’s attention fairly quickly when they don’t understand the words you’re saying. Leslie and Mark Begert have seemingly cracked the code on teaching a language and weaving in a compelling story to keep kids hooked. Leslie and Mark are the Co-Founders of FabuLingua, a language learning platform for kids ages 2 - 10 that utilizes a unique method designed to subconsciously develop a child’s comprehension and reading skills.
