Summer Osborn has been a French fanatic from the moment she learned to say, "Bonjour!" After studying in France and earning a degree in foreign language education, she taught in public high schools for five years before becoming a stay at home mom. When she found herself homeschooling her daughter, she realized she wanted to connect with homeschooling families and offer them a chance to learn a language in a way that fit their needs. She has been teaching homeschool groups for eleven years, and launched Global Goose Languages in 2018.

Ming-Hsi is a native Mandarin speaker from Taiwan. She has been teaching school- aged children Mandarin every week for several years. She has worked with heritage learners as well as homeschool co-ops. Besides English and Mandarin, she has also learned some basic French and Japanese, and she makes sure her own homeschooled children remain at-least bilingual and value their Chinese heritage and respect other cultures. She enjoys cooking, sewing, reading, hiking, and drawing.

Alison speaks four languages, has lived in three countries, has two degrees in foreign language, and one degree in education. Originally from Chicago, she lived in Spain for two years and currently lives in Argentina! Her adventure began when she studied abroad in Spain and France all in one summer, and fell in love with immersing herself in foreign language and culture. She has taught children through adults with varying language levels, and strives to make her classes dynamic and engaging through diverse activities and quirky culture facts. In her spare time, she enjoys playing and teaching flute, watching Netflix, doing gymnastics, and playing with her dog.
