A Start-To-Finish Path To Fluency
Getting to a real conversational level in a language isn't magic, it's just a limited number of grammar topics and vocab used over and over again. You just need to know what these topics and words are, and know which order to learn them in to make the most sense. This is what we've spent the last decade optimising which has culminated in the course we have today!
BS-Free & Made For Adults
We believe learning a language should be fun, BS-free, and made for adults, with no gamification or worksheets that make you want to die. We're all about making courses that get straight to the point, with lots of jokes, Gin & Tonics and mildly inappropriate examples to keep things interesting.
Learn Alongside Our Founder
Alongside a native speaker partner for each language, Jacob takes every course we offer with you, genuinely learning each language from scratch along with you, so you don't feel alone in your language learning journey, and so you get both the tips from a native English speaker on how he made sense of the topic, while still getting the native pronunciation and pro tips from a native speaker! It's truly the best of both worlds!
Maximise Your Brain Space
You can't cheat at learning a language, but you can optimise. We've spent over ten years obsessively refining our system to make sure it covers every piece of grammar and vocab used in everyday life, and is ordered according to importance in the course, so you get the things you need to be conversational as fast as possible.
AI Free
We have no AI anywhere in our courses, you will learn with humans, and even have a members only zone where you can ask questions to our native team and get a real response from a human who knows what they're talking about! So you can say goodbye to endless Googling or ChatGPT-ing topics that you just don't get.
Top-Notch Quality
We love languages and invested in fancy gear to make sure all our content looks and sounds awesome, because learning a language is hard enough without trying to learn through videos that look like they were filmed on a potato.
Grammar Leaflets
All the topics from our video courses summarised into cute little boxes, to remind you how things work when you need it!
PDF downloads that come with full printing files so you can print your leaflet out at home

Podcasts
Practice listening to native speakers
Each podcast is hosted by the same team in our video courses, meaning our humble founder, Jacob, plus his native speaker partner for that language.
Follow Jacob on his learning journey
Follow Jacob on his language learning journey in real time, as he learns each language we offer from start-to-finish with our awesome native speaker team members.
Get used to real conversations
It's one thing to learn something, but another to hear it actually being used in real life. These podcasts are a great in-between step to start getting used to hearing things before you have conversations of your own.
Learn extra words and phrases
Each podcast is full of extra words and phrases, which we put in our free Google Doc so you can see how everything is spelt - along with extra example sentences!

Our students say our courses
#are unexpectedly good | #are awesome | #sound great | #actually work | #make me laugh
Very satisfied with the summer group course led by Jacob. There are only 3 of us in the group, so everyone gets a chance to speak, the 90 minute lesson goes by like water every week and most importantly it's fun!
ANNA VERICHOVÁ
The best English lessons I've ever had. I enjoyed the lessons, they unlearn past mistakes, the classes are fun and Jacob is a great teacher. I wish I could go more than once a week!
EVA PŘIBYLOVÁ
What can I say, this best language course I've ever taken. After a few weeks I see improvements in myself that didn't show up after months in other courses. The classes don't bore me either.
