The Lingo Cards concept of using the fun and excitement of playing card games to pick-up some language phrases traces its roots back to a 2012 Central American backpacking surf trip. Our founder had a ‘light bulb’ moment to migrate hand-picked Spanish phrases from a battered notebook onto the cards played every afternoon over sunset cervezas.
When playing cards resulted in picking up some extra Spanish, we knew this idea was too good not to share.
With a DIY approach, Lingo Cards was bootstrapped from an idea in El Salvador into a globally-recognised brand of quality playing cards and other travel products, sold and played all around the world.
