Yaskal’s love of languages and cultures began at an early age and was encouraged by her international airline pilot father, who spoke many languages.  The family home on the Great South Bay of Long Island was decorated with treasures representing a multitude of cultures from various locations, which her father collected during his travels. It was a household custom for the family to greet international visitors with a few words in their native language. The family often traveled to  international destinations. 

Yaskal’s love of all things international, begun in childhood, and endures to this day.

Ms Yaskal’s specific expertise in the Spanish language  began with her father’s ancestry.  Many living relatives still reside in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The family would routinely avoid using any English during summer visits to their vacation home in  Palmas Del Mar, Puerto Rico.

Ms. Yaskal’s first husband, a Luxembourg national, whose parents were born in Algarve, Portugal, was fluent in nine languages.  The multi-lingual dinners she began hosting during her marriage continue, and to this day a party guest at her home will usually hear more than one language spoken during a meal.

Ms Yaskal incorporated her first music management business when she was just 20 years old. She attended the Crane School of Music in Potsdam, New York.  In 1980 she was offered a position at PolyGram Records in Manhattan. During her summers she obtained a Real Estate license and sold homes on the weekend on the Gold Coast of Long Island.  Ms. Yaskal improved the sales of this agency three-fold during her employment and realized that her love of business equaled her love of music and things international.

Her son was born in 1982.  Making the hard decision to give up her position at PolyGram Records, which required traveling back and forth to New York City, she continued her education at Adelphi University in Garden City, New York where she majored in Business Administration.  She moved to Charlottesville, Virginia after her divorce in 1988.

Ms Yaskal created The Center for International Studies and Foreign Languages in 1989. This allowed her to continue combining her passion for languages, international music, culture and business.
