After learning English for 12 years, founder and CEO Anthony Chang moved to the U.S. and was frustrated to realize that he could not speak or communicate in English after another 20 years of struggling and the constant question of "what is the best way to learn foreign languages?" Anthony finally realized his mistake when he taught his English speaking daughter Christina 13 Chinese songs and she began speaking to him in Chineses! That's when Sing 2 Learn was born and Anthony wrote "The Best Way to Learn Foreign Languages", his book which is a proud winner of the MCM's Choice Award.
