¡Hola! Salut! Servus! Ciao! Ola!
I'm LaDonna and I'm the language professional behind Prolingua. Born and raised in Tennessee, I got my first exposure to foreign language the way most of us millennials did - high school Spanish class. Needless to say, I left not knowing all that much. Fast forward over twenty years, I'm fluent in over ten languages and conversational in several more -- all because I unlocked the natural human capacity to learn languages! I've been all over the world -- for work, for school, and for pleasure -- and my ability to converse with people in their language has never failed to enrich my experience beyond my initial expectations. I want to help you (or your children!) discover their natural language learning ability. For whatever reason you choose, just bring the motivation and I'll bring the tools to help you start speaking fast!
