Lingo Media frankly acknowledges that English is the lingua franca of the world and sets about making English more accessible. The company publishes books and multimedia materials (audiotapes and CDs) designed to teach English to non-English speakers. Most of its revenue is generated by its Lingo Learning subsidiary, which designs print-based English language learning programs for students and professionals in China (its primary market), as well as in other non-English speaking countries. Its Out Loud Program is designed for primary-school students and uses rhyme and rhythm to help teach English. It also owns Speak2Me, a digital English-language-speaking tutor available as an online service.
