Our Story

Hello, we are three multilingual moms connected by a strong desire to keep alive the language and culture of our homeland country, Bulgaria. Each one of us has studied intensely foreign languages from a very young age all the way through college and have successfully used that advantage throughout our adult personal and professional life. Knowing the benefits of learning a new language especially in early childhood, we had a huge passion of raising my children bilingual. Along this journey, we partnered together to establish the PolyFluent non-profit organization. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for young children in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area to engage and learn a foreign language and culture and help them grow into prosperous young adults with open minds and a strong competitive edge in today’s global markets.

Silvana Sargeant

I was born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria and from early elementary school age, I was engaged in intense learning of foreign languages.

My husband and I met in Daytona Beach, Florida while pursuing our Aviation degree at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and are now settled in the Northern Kentucky area with our 2 young children.

As an adult, I have always enjoyed teaching and have been tutoring young children on various subjects for the past 17+ years. My love for travel and passion for exploring foreign languages and cultures has landed me a position at an amazing airline company where I interact with people from all over the world on a daily basis.

Krasimira Beck

I was born and raised in a multinational family and by the age of 4, I was already fluent in 2 languages. I came to the USA in 2004 as a student to help practice and strengthen my third foreign language – English. During the course of acquiring my graduate degree at Northern Kentucky University, I met my now husband with whom I’m raising our two wonderful children.

Being fluent in multiple languages has given me many advantages throughout my personal and professional life. I was able to combine my education in IT with the passion of learning new languages into building a successful career in Information Technologies. For the past few years, I have also enjoyed teaching my native language to a small group of young children.

Gergana Gouge

I was born and raised in Bulgaria, but I have been a resident of the Cincinnati tri-state area for the past 15+ years. As a child, I developed a strong passion for Bulgarian culture and traditions, and I also cultivated a love for learning foreign languages.

After completing my graduate business degree at Northern Kentucky University, I married my husband and we settled south of the Ohio river where we are raising our two beautiful children.

My proficiency in multiple languages has proven to be a valuable asset throughout my career, as I am currently a manager at a Fortune 500 company with a highly diverse global workforce. Additionally, I am dedicated to passing on my knowledge of Bulgarian language and culture to my children and have been teaching local groups of children for several years now.
