Our Vision
We envision an America
…where it’s just normal to be bilingual, and where most people are.
…more capable of listening to people outside of our borders—in their native languages—and connecting with them at a deeper level.
…where monolingualism, like illiteracy in the 19th and 20th centuries, is viewed as something to be reduced and eventually eliminated.
…where universal bilingualism and biliteracy is the next step in the long arc of American educational attainment.

You can book Steve for many different audiences
First, know that she has one of those glorious English accents (or what all of us who are not English would call an accent), which makes her a natural for the audio book narration that she does. Although U.S. born, Caroline grew up in England and studied literature at the University of Warwick (fyi for American ears: that second “w” is silent).
