Hello and welcome!
​
I’m Tiara Youngblood, the founder of Speak in Spades and now your new language cheerleader!
​
Ever since my elementary school days in the Spanish club, languages have captivated me. Italian, French, Japanese, Korean... you name it, I've dived into it!
​
At Rutgers University, my passion took a scholarly turn with Latin, Ancient Greek, Linguistics, and Secondary Language Education.
​
My philosophy on language learning has evolved immensely. It's not just about 'fluency'; it's about the joy and challenges along the way.

Language learners thrive on three key elements:
challenges, games, & a sense of community
​
At Speak in Spades, we:
-
Craft daily guided challenges for self-learners to progress at their own pace.
-
Nurture a motivating environment that promotes accountability towards language goals.
-
Merge learning with fun, using unique card games as a creative approach to language practice.
