LINGO MEDIA APPOINTS NEW VP TO LEAD OPERATIONS IN CHINA




Toronto, Canada, July 13, 2006 - Lingo Media Inc. (TSX-V: LMD; OTC BB: LNGMF) (“Lingo Media” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Williams as the Vice President of Lingo Media’s China Operations.  




Prior to this appointment, Mr. Williams was directing a large multinational team at the leading English education and training institute in China.  He worked as an investment broker at a nationally registered securities broker-dealer firm in the United States, Charles Schwab & Co, while he earned his MBA at Arizona State University.  During the past five years, he has been working in China as a project manager and as a consultant in several different industries including education, international taxation and banking.




“Michael Williams brings a solid foundation in Western business practices along with hands on operating experience in the English language training sector in China”, said Michael Kraft, President & CEO of Lingo Media. “We look forward to his input and direction as we advance our China Expansion Plan by moving into newspaper and magazine co-publishing and distribution.  We welcome Michael into his new role as a key member of our team”.




Lingo Media announces that certain members of its senior management team intend to purchase on the open market, shares of the Company's publicly traded common stock, based on their assessment of prevailing market prices.  Whether any such purchases are made, and the number of shares purchased, will depend upon the availability of shares at acceptable market prices. All trades will comply with Lingo Media’s insider trading policy and insiders will file the necessary insider reports as purchases may be completed.
