In 2016, Carlos and Dmeyer Cristo, two brothers of Portuguese heritage, embarked on a mission to bridge language barriers and empower communities through communication. Their journey to create Linguist Point began long before its official launch, rooted in their shared passion for languages and a deep understanding of the struggles that come with linguistic diversity.
THE EARLY INSPIRATION
Carlos and Dmeyer grew up fluent in Portuguese and Spanish, a reflection of their rich cultural background. Their passion for languages was evident from an early age, as they unknowingly took on the role of interpreters for family members and friends. These experiences ignited a love for communication and a desire to help others navigate the challenges of language barriers.
It wasn’t until late 2014 that the idea of founding an interpreting and translation agency began to take shape. Both brothers recognised a growing need for high-quality language services and envisioned a platform that prioritised excellence and community engagement.
FOUNDATIONS OF EXPERTISE

Before launching Linguist Point, Dmeyer honed his skills as an interpreter for multiple companies specialising in interpreting and translation services. These experiences were invaluable, exposing him to the industry’s challenges and underscoring the importance of quality over quantity. This belief became a cornerstone of Linguist Point’s philosophy, ensuring that every interpreter and translator in their team meets the highest standards.

Carlos, on the other hand, brought a wealth of experience from the property industry, where he worked as a Property and Lettings Manager. In his role, Carlos interacted with people from diverse nationalities, navigating cultural nuances and communicating fluently in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. His commitment to exceptional customer service and his ability to connect with people at all levels became a key influence in shaping Linguist Point’s customer-centric approach.
THE BIRTH OF LINGUIST POINT
Linguist Point was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to aid communities through communication.
Initially, the brothers focused on offering language lessons in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French, as well as community engagement initiatives. They envisioned a space where individuals could overcome language barriers and access opportunities for growth and connection.
However, as demand for their services grew, so did their ambitions. Recognising the UK’s diverse and evolving linguistic landscape, Linguist Point expanded its offerings to cover over 100 worldwide languages. This growth was driven by a commitment to adapting to the needs of society while maintaining the high standards that define their work.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
The journey to build Linguist Point was not without its struggles. As a small business in a competitive industry, Carlos and Dmeyer faced the challenge of standing out in a crowded market. They focused on their strengths: a deep understanding of cultural nuances, a dedication to quality, and an unwavering belief in the power of language to transform lives.
By prioritising quality over quantity, Linguist Point earned the trust of clients from diverse sectors, including social services, healthcare, legal, and business. Their journey is a testament to the idea that challenges can be overcome with determination, expertise, and a genuine desire to make a difference.
