You already serve English and Spanish speakers.
We help you help them connect.
Many organizations working in bilingual communities already serve both English speakers and Spanish speakers — under the same roof.
A church, for example, where one group comes in and celebrates in English. As they are departing, a new group arrives to celebrate in Spanish - with hardly anyone in the two groups merging.
The gap between them isn't a lack of goodwill. It's a lack of a bridge.
That's what the ShareLingo Foundation provides: a proven method, structured bilingual materials, and the training your team needs to run a language and cultural exchange program that actually works. You don't need to be a language expert. You just need to care about your community..
ShareLingo Wants To Help Teachers
Close The Achievement Gap!
We would like to offer you and your school a short course to help you improve
parental communication and engagement.
As a teacher, you can relate to the disparity of educational measures between the performance of minority students and their peers.
The Achievement Gap can be observed in everything from standardized test scores, GPA, dropout rates, college enrollment, and socioeconomic standing.
According to the American Psychological Association, different levels and types of parent involvement can lead to varying outcomes for students. The National PTA says that three key parent behaviors are the most accurate predictors of student achievement:
Creating a home environment that encourages learning
Communicating high, yet reasonable, expectations for achievement
Staying involved in a child's education at school
Other positive outcomes of family engagement in schools include: decreased disciplinary issues, improved parent-teacher and teacher-student relationships, and improved school environment.
But how do we bring non-English Speaking parents into the classrooms? That's simple. By helping them speak English.
Unique Language Methodology
The ShareLingo Method™: is a structured, scientifically grounded approach to language exchange — and it's unlike anything your community has likely tried before.
This isn't ESL. This isn't a class where one group teaches and the other listens. It's a guided exchange where English and Spanish speakers learn from each other, as equals. Small groups meet face to face. Participants pair off one-on-one, using ShareLingo's bilingual materials to practice pronunciation, vocabulary, and — most importantly — real conversation.
The result isn't just language progress.
It's trust. Respect. Friendship.
The kind of connection that changes how two communities see each other.
What your organization gets:
The ShareLingo Method™ — a simple, four-step practice framework
Professionally developed bilingual materials (no prep work required)
Training for one or more people in your organization to facilitate sessions
Ongoing support from the ShareLingo Foundation team
Unique environment
ShareLingo turns almost any space into a language and cultural exchange opportunity — a fellowship hall, a classroom, a community room, a library.
The ideal group is 10–12 people: equal numbers of English and Spanish speakers. During the meeting, people have ample time to practice together one-on-one.
Multiple groups (different levels, for example) can run simultaneously if your space allows. Sessions typically meet once or twice a week, with optional virtual practice between meetings.
No special equipment. No language lab. Just people, materials, and a facilitator who knows what to do.
We train you,
and hold your hand.
The ShareLingo Foundation's model is built for sustainability. Rather than depending on outside facilitators, we train someone inside your organization — a staff member, volunteer, or community leader — to oversee the program.
This "train the trainer" approach means:
Your program belongs to your community, not a vendor
Sessions can grow and continue on your schedule
The skills stay with your organization long-term
We provide everything your facilitator needs: the method, the materials, and the confidence to lead a group. Most facilitators are ready to run their first session within a week.
A representative from ShareLingo can also be there to hold their hand.
3 Simple Steps
Assessment
We start with a conversation. Together we look at your community's needs, your goals, your timeline, and what success looks like for your organization.
Training and Materials
We train your facilitator and provide everything they need to run sessions — bilingual materials, session guides, and the ShareLingo Method framework. Custom materials can be developed for specific contexts if needed.
Your Community Connects
Small groups begin meeting regularly.
Participants practice together, build relationships, and — almost without trying — start to understand each other in ways that go far beyond language.

Removing the Barriers
Fear of Failure
Language learning is full of frustrating moments. The ShareLingo exchange model removes the pressure: when both sides are learning and making mistakes together, self-doubt gives way to laughter and encouragement.
External Fears
What if they don't like me? Will I belong here?
A structured, bilingual, bi-cultural group of people with a shared goal creates a uniquely safe environment — one most participants have never experienced before.
Fear of complexity
You don't need to build a program from scratch. ShareLingo has done that work.
You bring your people; we bring the roadmap.
By choosing ShareLingo, you’re not just providing a space, or creating another ineffective ESL course; you’re creating a safe and effective language and exchange solution that transcend cultural boundaries.
