Aarav Patel, Founder and President

Envision a childhood where each Sunday morning was filled with learning and teaching language classes—an obligation that felt more like a chore than a choice. However, little did I know, those seemingly mundane lessons would evolve into a profound catalyst for change, greatly shaping my life with a greater purpose.

The proficiency cultivated in my native language proved to be a gateway for many opportunities. Through community service events, I discovered the transformative power of language in connecting with individuals who shared my cultural roots. It set me apart from peers who, unfortunately, hadn’t embraced both their own heritage and other cultures, leaving them unable to communicate with their families and communities effectively.

The turning point arrived during a frightening emergency situation, where my grandmother struggled to communicate effectively with healthcare providers. In that vulnerable instance, the value of my polyglot abilities and formal education in the Gujarati language unfolded. I sprang into action, quickly translating Gujarati to English; I later realized the stark reality of communication barriers in critical situations. I then understood that learning Gujarati since the age of 4, and teaching Gujarati classes since the age of 11, were the seeds for a profound change. After this incident, I questioned myself: how many others are grappling with a similar plight? With over 350 languages spoken throughout the US, and over 7,000 worldwide, what could be done to alleviate this problem? Witnessing this struggle became the fuel for a vision—LinguaSeekers: Building Bridges Through Language, One Word At A Time.

LinguaSeekers is more than a nonprofit platform; it’s a movement founded on the bedrock of language acquisition, communication, and the preservation of social and cultural ties. It arose from a commitment to prevent the erosion of languages, ensuring they thrive rather than fade away. Our goal is simple yet profound: to democratize language learning, erasing barriers between people and fostering connections that overcome the limitations of words.

Join and support us on a journey that goes beyond linguistic boundaries, where the power of language becomes a bridge to cultural understanding, empathy, and a more connected world. Together, we can make language learning and community building easy and accessible, unlocking a future where cultural diversity flourishes, and no one is left voiceless.
