2012 was an eventful year for all of us! We’ve witnessed a man jumping from the edge of space, athletes from across the world descend on London for the Olympics, The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, more shootings in America, the death of Whitney Houston, yet more mental weather and we all survived the predicted end of the world!
It’s also been a fantastic year here at Lingotot, so good in fact I had to have a cup of coffee and a little sit down when I wrote a list of everything we’ve done, it’s absolutely loads. I've written a little bit about our achievements under the photos below.
We know that our success is thanks to wonderful and enthusiastic parents, delightful little Lingotots, nurseries and schools. We couldn’t do the job we love so much without you! I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you soooo much for your continued support and wish you all the best for a fantastic 2013.

 Expansion This time last year I was running Lingotot as a one-woman band and to be honest I was struggling keeping up with the demand. Caroline, David and Susanna joined the Lingotot family in January 2012 as franchisees and so we started to grow. Over the next few months, they established new classes across Newcastle, Tyneside and Northumberland. |  Hola! In April, I took on the delightful Helen to lead my classes locally and to teach Spanish. She’s done an excellent job and everyone loves her. She’ll be gradually withdrawing from teaching for me to build up her own franchise area and I’m sure all the mums will secretly be cursing when they see me come back! |
September Growth
September was a super busy time for us with the schools starting a new academic year, especially after we were endorsed by some local LEAs and recommended to their primary schools. This was the month we expanded further and welcomed Katherine and Abigail on board as franchisees. They’re both doing a fantastic job, especially as neither of came from a teaching background, but they do share an absolute passion for languages for young children. In September we also took on a mini army of tutors to help deliver our classes.

 New Languages During the course of the year we also introduced two new languages; Mandarin and Spanish. I fell in love with the sound of Mandarin and have enjoyed playing peekaboo with my little girls. Peekaboo in Mandarin is 躲貓貓 or duǒ māo māo. I think it's super cute as it translates into ‘hiding kitten’ Awwww! |  Bring on 2013! Now at the end of 2012 we’re about to take on some new franchisees both in the North East and in other parts of England. I’m delighted we’ll be introducing language to children and their families across the UK and I’m very much looking forward to an awesome 2013! |
