Thank You for Being Part of Fresh Foundations!
I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed bringing Fresh Foundations to life. It’s been an ambitious project, but seeing this idea finally take shape and resonate with so many of you has been incredibly rewarding.
This project has been a labor of love, with a lot of time, expertise, and energy behind it. If Fresh Foundations has been useful to you, I’d be so grateful for your support.

What’s Next for Love to Lingo?
Love to Lingo Connect (Launching by the end of February!)
I’ll be hosting online language exchange sessions for people wanting to practice their foreign languages with expert/native speakers. This will be a space to practice fluency and connect with others around the world. (My 2025 focus word is Connect, so this project feels especially meaningful!)
I’ll start with Spanish/English, as those are the languages I feel most comfortable facilitating. If you’re interested, let me know!
A Series for Beginner Language Learners
Following the Fresh Foundations format, I plan to create a new series for beginners. As I start learning Italian, I’ll document my practice and share insights along the way.
Podcast: Monthly Episodes
February’s episode: Reconnecting with a Heritage Language with Yazmin Infante Peña.
