Our Story

Meet Paolo and Francesca Pini - the husband and wife duo who are also the faces of Nubridge.

Polo-Francesca

We founded Nubridge Publishing to revolutionise the teaching and learning of foreign languages – particularly for young learners.

We both benefitted from growing up in multilingual homes so were fortunate to grow up bilingual almost by accident. The way young brains absorb, organise, assimilate and process new language is amazing. It’s very fast, very natural and lasts a lifetime. We truly believe the earlier it starts the better it is – that’s why we set up Nubridge Publishing.

By providing effective, engaging, quality language learning resources for educators and children we can revolutionise the teaching and learning of languages, nurturing future generations of global citizens and confident communicators in multiple languages.

From the humble beginnings of the small spare bedroom in our house, via the garage, a garden office, various serviced offices and now to our own suite of offices in London, our amazing team of teachers, linguists, software developers, illustrators, administrators, musicians, animators and even an office dog, work tirelessly to deliver the Nubridge Publishing mission.
