My name is Jonathan Boscarato!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am a passionate language learner and a musician, and the founder of Lingosing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I started looking for some music that could help children to learn languages throughout the lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I found a lot of nursery rhymes, I found that most of it was not ideal for language learning. Most nursery rhymes don&#8217;t contain the words and sentences that are used in daily conversation. Worse still, some of them were grammatically incorrect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I decided to start writing my own nursery rhymes to help my children and their cousins to learn languages, and published the first episode of the <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasters.spotify.com\/pod\/show\/lingosing-english\">Lingosing podcast on Spotify in September 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In July 2022, after writing these songs for almost two years, I was fortunate enough to receive an <a href=\"https:\/\/cbrin.com.au\/icon\">Innovation Connect Grant<\/a> from the amazing people at the <a href=\"https:\/\/cbrin.com.au\/\">Canberra Innovation Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our small team is now building the next stage of Lingosing, which we hope will allow children from all over the world to learn languages through music!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We want to make language learning fun through music!
