Company History

LingoLynx, LLC - 2002 to present

LingoLynx, LLC was founded in January, 2002 with the first launch of Reality Spanish® for Teachers in Colorado's school districts. The success was immediate, as was the recognition that this was indeed a 'missing piece' in teacher preparation.

Since then, the Reality Language® 'family' has grown in number and state representation to over seven states where over 250 trainers have been trained to deliver all curricula. From the various trainer pools, 8 Master Trainers have developed through their teaching experience with the programs and now assist Gaye and Molly in the presentation of Train the Trainers workshops.

The passion has not abated. The impactful results have matured our understanding of what we do and why it works. Check below for the key pieces to our journey!
