Our Story
From childhood curiosity to international recognition - discover the journey
that shaped Europe's most famous polyglot twins.
the beginning (manchester, uk)
We're Matthew and Michael Youlden - identical twins who discovered our extraordinary gift for languages at age 8. Armed with nothing but a Spanish phrasebook and boundless curiosity, we began a journey that would transform us into Europe's most recognized polyglot educators.
What started as childhood fascination became academic pursuit, professional expertise,
and ultimately, international recognition.
academic excellence (berlin, germany)
where science met passion
We didn't just learn languages - we studied the science behind language acquisition. Our linguistics and translation studies at some of Europe's most prestigious universities gave us the academic foundation that sets us apart from amateur language enthusiasts.
Key Insight: Traditional language teaching methods often fail because they ignore individual learning styles and sociolinguistic context. This realization would later become the foundation of our revolutionary Twin Method.
