The smart, ambitious ones who are determined to learn. The ones who often end up exhausted and overwhelmed after blocking themselves with their own myths.
You’re stuck telling yourself you don’t have time, you’re wasting the time you do have, and that it should be quicker and easier than it often feels.
You go through phases where motivation is high – you book the lessons, buy the books… And then feel guilty three weeks later when you miss a day & lose your app streak.
There’s a worry in the back of your mind that language learning is becoming a chore and a bore. After a full day at work – how are you ever supposed to make it fun?
You’re seeing success everywhere else in your life. So why is language learning this hard?
Hiring a tutor becomes optional, not an obligation. Say goodbye to binge buying resources or panic cramming vocab too.
You can learn & use multiple languages at the same time. You’re not missing a magic gene. You do have the skills.
You don’t need to keep putting off what you know will bring you so much joy & potential. No more waiting for ‘the right time’.
“Language Life is great, especially if you want to focus on learning a language outside of regular classes. Lindsay is very kind and encouraging, and monthly reviews mean you get accountability.”
— Evelina
AS HEARD ON...
And I do languages. I’m on a mission to teach the world how to become fluent in any language. And we do it without you having more lists of vocab or grammar jargon thrown your way. Working with me, you’ll learn how to become fluent in any language by learning how to learn languages.
I’ve recently completed my MA in Applied Linguistics and spent the past 2 decades plus of my life learning languages. So I know a thing or two about how to do this thing.
When I’m not sharing how to learn languages on the internet, I’m trying new-to-me sports (because being a beginner is the best!), hunting down old language books, and playing with my tortoise Gonzo (who speaks a grand total of zero languages).
I used to view my language learning as work. Without Language Life, I may have thrown in the towel.
— Jane
A miracle happened, I learnt grammar is my friend.
— Emma
I’m SO excited to introduce you to:
Everything you need to know about how to learn a language is here. Say hello to your new favourite bookmark on your browser.
The 12 Chapters of the Library give you a full understanding of language learning.
Your best ways to apply everything you know come from the accompanying workbook and activities to get you thinking and doing.
And yes, you can keep learning languages at the same time. In fact, it’s encouraged.
See the full Library contents breakdown below.
No overwhelm of Zoom calls to add to your already packed calendar.
Instead, get your questions answered and saved for quick and easy reference in our private Question Bank.
It’s super simple. Submit your question when it comes up for you, I’ll record my answer and share this in our private podcast feed exclusive for Language Life members.
Those questions get saved in our Question Bank so it’s easy to check back over past questions from yourself and other members and catch up on exactly what you missed.
Transcripts provided in addition to the audio answers.
It can be difficult to know if you’re going in the right direction or down a dead end path.
The answer? Regular review. And in Language Life, you get personal feedback on your reviews and upcoming goals to help plan for what’s next.
Reflect honestly and submit your monthly language review. I share my personalised feedback with you so you’ve got everything you need to adjust your language goals for the coming month.
You also get the chance for 1:1 check-ins when you complete each Chapter of the Self-Study Library.
And extra 1:1 support is waiting for you with every Milestone you complete during your time in Language Life.
Avoid overwhelm and head straight to Language Life to discover something new and fun to get you practising that language for yourself.
A variety of new writing and speaking prompts are yours regularly to inspire you to consistently produce the language.
Our How to Use Any Prompt At Any Level Workshop gives you all the guidance you need to make it work for any language, regardless of if you’re a beginner, there’s a different writing system, or it’s a language commonly considered ‘difficult’.
The more you write and speak for yourself, the better you get at languages. Simple.
And monthly, you get a brand new Challenge Bingo Card!
Complete with 6 new mini challenges, this is a great way to spark something new with your languages.
Plus, completing Challenges gets you closer to achieving one of your Language Life Milestones!
First up is our Member Directory, so you can easily connect directly to other Language Life folk with similar languages & interests to you.
It doesn’t end there. Every week, submit your Weekly Wins to collectively earn live sessions & other rewards!
We have no regular Zoom calls to clog your calendar, but connect for more meaningful sessions to discuss the big language topics, study new things together and more.
This includes quarterly Cosy Chats, where we discuss relevant and insightful language topics, and monthly Dabblers’ Den, where we learn a new language in one hour.
From the day you join Language Life, you get full access to EVERYTHING I have available for language learners!
That’s Successful Self-Study, 100 Creative Ideas for Solo Language Learners, Music Maestro, Vibrant Vocab, The Solo Language Learner Planner, and Watch & Learn.
You also get Promptly access during your time inside Language Life too!
The hugely popular Speak 28×28 Challenge is exclusive to Language Life.
This 28 day challenge gets you speaking more fluently & confidently in just 4 weeks by developing a Solo Speaking Habit.
Every day you get a short video lesson & prompt to help build your speaking confidence.
As long as you’re a Language Life member, you get free access to all my workshops and mini courses hosted or created during that time.
So you can be sure you’re getting the very latest language learning advice and never missing anything.
There is a marked difference between Heidi of the past, who stressed about so much, and Heidi of now who’s like “I’m gonna keep trying and keep learning and making it a part of my life!”
— Heidi
The best thing about Language Life hands down is the support and conversations with Lindsay.
The Self-Study Library is really good and gets you thinking; the conversations after each Chapter help you figure it out for your own personal context and make it work. She’s also really energising and fun to chat with!
There are many more less obvious bonuses as well, such as the weekly prompts, which are an ongoing source of fresh creativity and motivation.
— Alex
The program was helpful for keeping me moving forward and not letting a slow month snowball into stopping all activity.
It was overall helpful for learning how to diagnose what you want to get out of your language learning and finding concrete ways to implement those changes.
— Katie
The most memorable win, in terms of my mindset shift, was to put an end to my 15-year negative and rocky relationship with the Thai language.
— Rebecca

Katie joined Language Life with both feet firmly in Camp Multiple Languages! Her languages include French, Norwegian, Korean, Hebrew, Spanish & Portuguese. After just a few weeks inside Language Life, Katie very quickly learnt how to plan for her different languages & levels allowing space for their individual needs.
I was at a point where I felt like I had to level-up or stop telling myself I was really going to do this Irish thing. It’s a great opportunity to make something special happen.
– Erinn
Evelina knew there were differences between how she found each language. After just 3 months, she noticed more speaking confidence in French from new methods learnt inside Language Life. Evelina also gained an improved approach to goal setting that she’ll take forward to make even better with practice.
This is a fantastic program to build good habits and keep your learning on track, no matter how busy your life is! I am proud of constantly thinking about what I can do for my language learning, and being able to come back to it quickly.
– Audrey
When Erinn joined Language Life, she felt like she was spinning her wheels. She couldn’t tell if she was making progress (or what to do to make sure she did actually make progress). After just 3 months, Erinn told me her consistency was way better than ever before.
Language Life has been such an amazing asset to my language learning! Working with Lindsay to guide me and give me a new perspective on how to learn effectively and when to be kind to myself has been invaluable.
– Katy
Alex joined Language Life feeling demotivated & lost, spending so much time with languages but not learning much. After just 3 months together, they noticed huge mindset shifts. They now have goals, habits and structure. AND they know how to use resources, meaning they don’t need to pay for expensive courses anymore.
I’m not about a quick buck or selling anything half-baked over here.
That’s why when you join Language Life, I reach out with your Intake Form right away to make sure you’re in the right place.
And, hey, to save us all some time, it’s worth outlining our core values here so you can decide if Language Life is a good fit for you.
I value you and your time. That’s why Language Life is streamlined to be as impactful as possible whilst also fitting into your life.
Your success with this program depends on your own efforts and commitment to the program. I cannot and do not guarantee any specific result. By joining this program you acknowledge you understand and agree to this.
Where you are from and which languages you speak should not impact the opportunities you get in life. Unfortunately, it still does. But until it doesn’t, we can work together towards a more equal world.
At Lindsay Does Languages, we believe that Black Lives Matter; LGBTQ+ rights are human rights; and indigenous languages, people, and cultures deserve equal treatment. With us on that? Let’s work together.
We value sustainable language learning over unrealistic goals that make a catchy blog title. No false promises or “10 days to C2” over here.
Yes, you’ll become fluent in any language on demand, but in your own way. I’m all about finding lasting ways to learn a language that work for you.
That sustainability crosses over into our environmental values too. We’re conscious to minimise our impact on this one planet.
The Language Life program has been designed to be consumed as much as possible digitally. You are welcome to print the workbooks, but you can also access & complete them digitally.
Language Life is for ambitious language learners who want to learn languages better and are tired of the same old ‘methods’ and ‘systems’.
Whether you’re learning French, Spanish or both, you’re welcome. Language Life is ‘language-agnostic’!
And whether your goal is full-on fluency or it’s a hobby, you’re welcome.
You’ll learn the Language Life process once and hiring a tutor, binge buying books, or panic cramming vocab all become optional, not obligational.
Not necessarily, but I’ve found most people joining Language Life do have some language learning experience.
Don’t let that put you off though if you consider yourself a beginner! In Language Life, I don’t to teach you a language explicitly – I teach you how to learn a language. And that’s valuable at any level of experience.
If you have any questions or concerns about your language levels, request a Next Steps Chat below and we can hop on a quick call to discuss this and help you decide if it’s right for you.
I hear this a lot.
One of the first things we’ll do together is set up your Language Life Roadmap. This will help you plan when you’ll study the Self-Study Library over 3, 6, or 12 months.
I re-recorded the video lessons in 2024 & they are now much more streamlined & broken down into smaller lessons, so you can fit them in easier. All can be watched on 2x speed with subtitles if time is of the essence. It’s roughly an hour per module.
I’d say anywhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour a week would be a rough average of how much time to make the most of the program.
Language Life isn’t me throwing more vocab and grammar at you and leaving you to figure out how to use it for yourself (sometimes leading to variable results).
Language Life teaches you how to learn a language, as well as providing the necessary support and motivation throughout our time together to get you actively using and learning the language on a regular basis.
So you will learn languages as a result of your time in Language Life.
Nope!
The Self-Study Library in Language Life is exclusive to this program.
Successful Self-Study covers a lot less ground but in no way goes as deep as Language Life. There’s also no support in Successful Self-Study.
Nope – not *just* speaking!
Of course, speaking is a huge part of using a language but that’s not all. If you focus just on speaking, you end up with wonky language skills that will serve you well only a fraction of the time.
Rather than setting you up that way, Language Life is designed for the well-rounded language learner. Besides, building confidence and ability with other skills such as listening, reading and writing will have an overall positive impact on your speaking.
So if it’s speaking you want, you’ll get that, but you’ll also get a better chance at lasting language skills for the long term.
Language Life is unlike anything I’ve seen available to language learners before.
Most options focus on either teaching you a specific language, or on giving you a very specific one-size-fits-all method to follow. Seeing as we’re all unique and learn differently, you’ll have a problem there.
Language Life, on the other hand, is the combination of the exclusive Self-Study Library with Human Support & Feedback, and Regular Practice. This combined with my experience as a learner, teacher, and coach makes for a unique program to actually become fluent in any language on demand.
Absolutely!
The vast majority of my personal language learning has involved learning more than one at once.
And many Language Life members are learning multiple languages too.
There’s a Lesson specifically for learners of multiple languages too, where you’ll learn my Multiple Language Models to make things easier and quicker than ever.
No.
During our 12 months together in Language Life, there’ll inevitably be moments where “life” is happening and taking over…and that’s good!
I want you to have me & Language Life on your side to work through those moments as they happen, so you’re prepared to handle it down the line on your own after you complete the program.
With a shorter time inside Language Life, sure, it’s possible to take in the whole program (at quite a rushed pace), but there’s no follow up time to review, revisit, and put everything into action whilst still getting the support and feedback you’ll be wanting from me.
So Language Life is 12 months to avoid you getting stuck ‘high and dry’!
Language Life is an investment for life, not just the time we work together.
