WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER ESL CLASS?
The Lingo Project is a faith based nonprofit built specifically for adult learners – immigrants, parents, and working individuals who need practical English to thrive in daily life, work, and community.
Community-Based, Not Just a Classroom:
Lingo is not just about lessons – it’s about building real relationships and support networks. Classes are designed to be welcoming, personal, and connected to real-life situations
Flexible and Accessible
-
Flexible scheduling (evenings or online)
-
Simple enrollment (no documents required)
-
Low cost to attend - We work with volunteers from different churches and areas who are willing to donate their time and efforts to teach you English

Language with a Purpose
-
