Getting Started

First of all, welcome! So glad you’re here; we think you’ll find fantastic resources to help you on your language learning journey. 

There’s so much mystery and there are so many opinions surrounding the “right” ways to learn a language, but we believe that letting go of the idea that there’s one best way is a good start. 

You may be coming to language learning as someone who already speaks a few languages well and wants to add another, or you may be a beginner, simply curious about which language you want to learn first. 

Wherever you’re coming from, we’re glad you’re here, and our goal is to help you with yours. 

Plus, we’re constantly doing new research and uploading new content, so this site will keep getting better and better. And we’d love to hear from you! If you have comments on the content or if there’s a language learning topic you’d like to know more about, send us a message!
