Summary: Being multilingual can make a world of difference at any age. From understanding games on the playground, to navigating a crowded airport and communicating in the global workforce.<br>Learning a foreign language has been linked to higher test scores, better executive functioning and overall advances in IQ. It’s a resume builder, but more importantly, a confidence booster.<br><br><br>Caryn Antonini ’s mission is to see that our future generations become multilingual and<br>globally aware. Caryn began speaking foreign languages from a young age and has always been<br>fascinated with language acquisition and other cultures and customs. Her<br>passion led her to the Georgetown University School of Languages and<br>Linguistics where she graduated with high honors. It was there that she cultivated her understanding of how children learn languages and its connection<br>to their cognitive development. When Caryn had her own child and wanted to<br>teach him foreign languages at a young age, she found nothing on the market<br>that put into practice what she had learned. That inspired Caryn to embark on<br>developing a comprehensive program, the end result being the award-winning,<br>innovative Early Lingo Learning System.<br><br>Caryn works with underprivileged schools in the United States, and In<br>2013 she partnered with a private trust to bring the Early Lingo English Language<br>Learning Initiative to Fiji and is working with organizations in the South Pacific to<br>bring the English language to school centers in the region. She has recently<br>partnered with independent schools along the East Coast who use the Early<br>Lingo Language Learning Apps. Early Lingo also works with various foundations<br>that serve to improve early childhood education for disadvantaged children.<br>On a global scale, Caryn has created The Young Global Citizens Campaign,<br>which educates children on how to become empathetic, responsible and<br>productive members of society in our increasingly interconnected world.<br>Caryn speaks 5 languages, is a member of the World Forum Foundation, sits on<br>the Advisory Board of Global Chamber and is a Global Citizen Resource Group<br>Chair at a CT independent school.
