  • Clarity is the key to fluency

    I've been thinking about this a lot recently. I'm wondering if one of the main reasons people struggle to reach fluency is that they aren't clear on what the main obstacles are and actually how to overcome them.

  • The worst ways to learn a language

    Often it's a better idea to ask yourself what the "worst" way to do something is. It's frequently easier to identify that. Avoiding pitfalls is often enough to make it to the finish line.

  • I'm proud of my work again

    Real talk: I was disappointed in myself. In 2023, I realized that students at the Calgary Language Nerds progressed slowly.


    I also noticed that most people didn't take many lessons. I think the average used to be something like 16 hours of class per person...in the course of a year.


    Considering that the vast majority of learners at the time didn't do much self-study or homework (if any), 16 hours is quite simply not enough.


    For the first time since then, I'm proud of the work we're doing. Far more students really are getting better. We can measure their progress. The best part is that it looks like we really are on the pathway to being able to guarantee fluency for those who take lessons.


    Can't wait to keep building!

  • Learning a language makes you braver

    This was a novel thought that came to mind today. Language learning really does make me braver - and I think it can do that for other people too.
