WHO WE ARE

At NNELL, we don’t just teach languages. We shape mindsets. We open doors. We create belonging.

Dear Educators,

There’s something powerful about being part of a community that sees what’s possible—especially when that community is made up of early language educators who believe in planting seeds that will grow far beyond our classrooms.

At NNELL, we don’t just teach languages.
We shape mindsets. We open doors. We create belonging.

Right now, across the country, teachers like you are sparking joy, curiosity, and connection through language—often with limited time, resources, or support. And yet, you show up. You innovate. You lead.

That’s why NNELL exists.
To be your home base. Your launchpad. Your network of bold, generous professionals who believe in the future of language learning.

Whether you’re a new teacher or a seasoned advocate, I invite you to explore, connect, and contribute. Join a regional event. Access powerful resources. Lift your voice through policy and practice. Let’s build something that matters—together.

Welcome. We’re glad you’re here.

With gratitude and purpose,
Edgar Serrano
President, NNELL
