About LINGO
LINGO is designed for professionals striving to excel in a second language.
We assist lawyers, advocates, and other professionals by leveraging our expertise in legal, social, and workforce development services.
Our approach includes individualized sessions and tools to ensure participants confidently master languages and cultural competency.
We help you build confidence and literacy,
one session at a time.

I am Vanessa Sarmiento, an immigration and human rights advocate and the creator of LINGO.
Over a decade ago, I entered the U.S. legal landscape as a Colombian lawyer and monolingual Spanish speaker, full of determination and an unwavering curiosity for learning. Since then, I’ve built a career centered on legal services administration, program design, and strategic planning.
Through LINGO, I share with fellow professionals the insights and tools I have acquired throughout the years.
