Do you feel stuck learning a new language? You’re not alone.

Maybe you've invested time and money in classes, or perhaps you’re learning on your own. Millions of adults face similar struggles. Do you feel frustrated, discouraged, or at a dead end? We’ve all been there.

Hello! I'm Michael, your language coach and mentor.

Like you, I faced the challenge of learning English to reach my goals. Where I lived, we often had visitors from English-speaking countries, but I found it difficult to communicate with them due to my limited English skills. I started learning English at a language school, but after months, I saw little progress. English felt overwhelming, and I gave up, feeling defeated. But later, a simple gift – a dictionary – reignited my passion. Through trial and error, I discovered methods and strategies that worked for me, and I learned English on my own!

Now, I speak Spanish, English, Haitian Creole, French, and Brazilian Portuguese, and I'm currently diving into Turkish because I'm fascinated by its sound and beauty.

This program reveals a different approach, developed by a multilingual coach and mentor who understands your difficulties.

.

Research-Based Approach: Unlike traditional methods, I focus on teaching you how to learn. You’ll gain tools to organize yourself and become an independent learner. My approach is based on several pillars supported by extensive research in Second Language Acquisition:

• Solid Foundations: I explain the principles of Second Language Acquisition in an easy-to-understand way.

• Proven Strategies: I teach you learning strategies and techniques with a strong research base.

• Personalized Learning: I guide you to organize your learning and develop a plan that works for your unique learning style and goals.

Proven Results

• Over 7 Years of Experience: For more than seven years, I’ve been passionate about language learning. I’ve evolved from teaching to coaching and mentoring, always seeking the most effective methods.

• Real-World Proven Program: My program isn't built solely on my experience. While I speak five languages fluently, I knew that wasn't enough. To truly create a transformative program, I explored in detail Second Language Acquisition (SLA) theories, time management strategies, and the techniques employed by successful polyglots. I didn't want to simply replicate my own learning journey; I wanted to build a program based on empirical evidence. That's why six years ago, I created free coaching programs to test these theories and techniques with real learners. The results were phenomenal, with participants making significant progress.

• Success in All Contexts: I've been hired to coach and mentor employees at a company, and their communication skills have improved significantly, I've also coached, mentored, and taught countless one-on-one learners from different countries.

• Multilingual Experience: My journey of mastering several languages allows me to understand your unique obstacles when learning a new language.

• Empowering Learners: My approach has always been to equip you with the skills to become an independent learner, ensuring long-term success.
  

The Frustrating Reality and Why People Struggle: The One-Size-Fits-All Illusion of Language Learning

The world is filled with eager language learners, but their enthusiasm often dissolves into frustration. Traditional methods like schools, online courses, and apps fall short because they all follow a one-size-fits-all approach.

• Standardized curriculums neglect individual needs and learning

  preferences, leading to disengagement and stalled progress.

• Teacher-centered classes leave students unprepared for self-directed learning, a crucial skill for language acquisition.

• Traditional methods often bypass critical aspects like efficient vocabulary memorization and pronunciation refinement.

• Extravagant claims of "foolproof methods" create unrealistic expectations and lead to disillusionment.

The Root of the Problem: Learning Goes Beyond the Classroom

Teachers often focus on teaching techniques rather than the learner's process. True learning happens through active use and immersion, beyond the classroom walls. Successful learners engage in real-world activities like reading, listening, and conversing in their target language. Unfortunately, many educators fail to teach the autonomy required for effective language acquisition.

A renowned education author, John Holt captures this idea perfectly: "Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of the learners." I believe this wholeheartedly and further add that language learning can only be effective if it comes from an understanding of how people learn languages, not just how to teach them.

As a nurse with Spanish-speaking patients and a passion for traveling, I had been wanting to learn Spanish for years but didn't know where to start. That's when I heard about Lingcata and was introduced to Michael, my coach and teacher. With his engaging teaching style and encouragement, I went from knowing only a few words to being able to successfully communicate with locals during my recent trip to Costa Rica. Michael's coaching has been immensely helpful and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and fun Spanish Teacher.

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael several years ago. Last year during remote learning when I realized my son needed help with his Spanish class, I knew exactly who to contact. Michael’s patience and diligence would be key to my son’s success. Throughout the tutoring sessions, he provided consistent communication and progress updates. Thanks to Michael’s multilingual fluency, our son made great strides and was prepared to move to a higher-level course. I would recommend working with him to learn a new language or to improve your current skills.

Your coaching sessions have helped me a lot. You have helped me develop my speaking skills and gain confidence in myself and not be afraid to make mistakes when I am learning. In one of our sessions, you said that listening is the key skill required to become a good communicator: I will never forget that. You have taught me that I don't need to wait for perfection to use what I learn and have fun with it.

Thanks to the methods you gave me, I have learned how to learn and also how to apply what I learn effectively. Thank you for helping me!

Don't take my word for it

Your coaching sessions have helped me gain confidence in myself. During those sessions, I felt comfortable and had the desire to learn more every day. It is not easy to learn a new language, but you have helped me in ways I didn't expect. you taught me how to have fun while learning a language, and to be honest, I did have fun. I'm not saying that I speak English like a native speaker now haha, but I know that I have improved and I notice the improvement every day. Applying everything you have taught me makes me proud of myself. Thank you for helping me.

Manager at Destiny Entreprises

In Brazil, we have very little access and incentive to learn English at school. In the job market, however, those who can communicate well in English usually get the best opportunities. For this reason, I decided to study English on my own over the past few years, however, I found it difficult to progress in learning, without having a well-defined plan.

Since I met Michael, I have noticed that he has precious methods and strategies to enhance my proficiency in new languages. With his tips and strategies, I have been able to create a more effective study plan. Besides making the conversations much easier and more relaxed, since he also speaks Portuguese he always manages to help me when I feel difficulty expressing myself in English.

More than a coach or teacher, Michael has also become a friend and encourages me to understand my learning process strategically and more effectively.
