Recent research shows that those who speak a second language tend to develop dementia 5 years later than those of us who can only speak one. This level of prevention is greater than anything currently offered in the fields of medicine or pharmacology. It is from this incredible fact that Lingo Flamingo was born. Beginning in 2015, Lingo Flamingo marries a love of languages with a desire to promote life long learning and a personal quest to make language learning accessible for all and improve the lives of those living with dementia.
