Little Lingo began with a simple idea: in a multicultural country like Australia, finding quality educational resources in your mother tongue can be almost impossible.

I grew up in a Serbian household where Serbian was the only language spoken. When I started school, I didn’t know a word of English and joined the EAL program for my entire primary years. Those experiences sparked my love for language and showed me that it’s more than communication – it’s a bridge to culture, connection and identity.

I later became a teacher at my old primary school, where most students were EAL learners - a full circle moment. After five years in education and time in the corporate world, I combined both passions to create Little Lingo.

I saw how quickly our generation shifts to English when raising children and how little there was to support families wanting to keep their language alive. I wanted resources that were practical for parents, engaging for kids and true to each culture.

That’s how our first Serbian alphabet deck was born - pastel colours, sweet illustrations, child-friendly pronunciation guides and cultural accuracy at its heart. Now, our collection includes Serbian, Greek, Albanian and more to come.

What began as a personal project is now helping families and educators. At its core, Little Lingo is about the same thing - helping little learners connect with big cultures, one card at a time.
