You love languages… but right now, it’s just not working.

You've tried to learn a language before, maybe seen some success, but now things have got difficult.

Life has changed. You're busier, you don't have the time you used to and you can't drop everything for a full-on immersion program!

You still love languages but you're falling out of love with learning them because it feels like it's not working like it used to.

You've been at the same level for ages - stuck at the plateau waiting for a real breakthrough to the next level.

You're learning multiple languages (or have experience with studying more than one in the past) but wouldn't really call yourself a polyglot.

It's exhausting.

The apps you've tried don't have a comprehensive approach and it feels like they don't understand how the human brain actually learns languages!

They're designed to be quick fixes, games, entertaining - rather than actual, permanent language acquisition.

When you've worked with a tutor, it's mixed success - sometimes great but sometimes you're moving on too fast with a new topic each week - you forget everything that came before.

Since you were in a class, you've not encountered a way to learn a language that was designed to keep you accountable, and move me beyond your current plateau within 3 months.

There's a better way to learn languages.

It starts with the 3 Fs of Language Learning.

Language learning needs to be Fun, Flexible, and Functional.

You’ve probably found yourself leaning too far in one direction, ignoring the others and then feeling frustrated that you’re not getting to the next level.

That doesn’t happen because you’ve lost your edge and are no good at learning languages anymore, it happens because we’re not taught this stuff.

And the 3 Fs are just one example of the work we’ll do together.

Once you know how to learn a language this way, you can work with whatever dodgy app or half-trained teacher you want and STILL get the results that you want!

Life-changing for my languages.

Lindsay’s support is invaluable and she guides you through your journey of discovery. It’s been life changing for my languages.

— Alex

So what is Language Life?

Language Life text on computer screen surrounded by features of the program including videos, feedback, and workbook pages

A 12-month coaching experience that gives you the clarity, structure, and personal support you need to finally make consistent, lasting progress. In any language.

You get expert support to keep you accountable and inspired, our exclusive curriculum, and regular opportunities to practice your languages.

Language Life isn’t wishy-washy tips or “Are you a visual learner?” quizzes.

This is the real deal on how language learning actually works – and, most importantly, how it works for you.

The core principles of how to do this are the same – any person, any language, any level.

But if we leave it there, it doesn’t account for everything else you’ve got going on in your life, nor all the intricacies that make you you!

Together, I help you find what works best for you, by putting you at the centre rather than an afterthought.

I feel more in control & more positive already.

So...why learn this with me?

Hey, I'm Lindsay.

And I do languages.

In many parts of the world, speaking several languages is just a way of life. For the rest of us, it’s a choice. One that often starts with excitement and curiosity, but somewhere along the way, gets tangled in frustration and self-doubt.

That’s where I come in. I’ve spent over two decades learning languages myself and recently completed an MA in Applied Linguistics. Now, I spend my days teaching how to learn languages.

Learning a language opens up a richer life: easier travel, deeper connection, and a sense of belonging that crosses borders. And I want that for you, too.

When I’m not helping people build that global confidence, you’ll find me trying new sports (because being a beginner keeps things interesting), hunting down old language books, or hanging out with my tortoise, Gonzo (who, despite my best efforts, still speaks a grand total of zero languages).

When we work together, amazing things happen.

Powerful, encouraging, empowering.

I appreciated how detailed all of the advice was…[the chapters of the curriculum] are really powerful…complete, encouraging and empowering.”

— Valerie

“The best thing about Language Life is hands down the support with Lindsay.”

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!

— Alex

“There's a marked difference between past me and me now.”

3 months into Language Life already ironed out those confidence issues, helped me give the boot to negative internal dialogue, and provided me with so many ideas for moving forward in both languages.

— Heidi

“I saw progress in my self-awareness, planning, and language creation.”

I saw progress in my self-awareness, planning, Māori language creation and more fluidity and creativeness in my Spanish language creation.

The process of doing a monthly review and having some feedback really helped with my self-awareness. This in combination with the goals, balance, motivation chapters helped me plan better and work with myself better.

— Alex

“My Polish has improved so much while not living in Poland!”

I’ve made a lot of progress in Polish and am getting consistently complimented.

— Anon

“A slow month doesn't stop me anymore!”

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

“I put an end to my 15 year rocky relationship with Thai.”

I was in a never-ending cycle of questioning my identity as well as avoiding any interaction with the language. Now, I’m confident in conversing amongst my friends, cousins, & relatives in Thai and Chacavano.

— Rebecca

I inspired my boyfriend to learn Chinese!

“My boyfriend recently started learning Chinese, and I wonder if a small part of that is because he saw me seriously showing up to Spanish and Turkish and maybe it inspired him to finally start learning a language that he’s always wanted to.”

– Valerie

“I'm exceeding my expectations.”

“In Mandarin, I’m exceeding my own expectations, and I don’t care about anyone else’s. My current plans are working really well for me!”

– Anon

“I'm proud of the changes I've made.”

“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

“I now know how to learn effectively.”

“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

“It was an eye-opener.”

“The Speaking Types in the Speaking Chapter were an eye opener. Since I am learning 2 languages, and I think I previously thought I was utilizing the same strategies, but I was simply more advanced in one. But now I see the benefits for different approaches.”

– Jane

3 months in...

Starting Turkish as her first solo language outside of the classroom, Valerie wasn’t sure where to begin. But 3 months in, she shared that her biggest win was the consistency. She says it’s very rare for her to miss a day. When she does, she gets right back into things without feeling guilty.

Try it for 14 days, risk-free.

Try it for 14 days. Use it and see how it fits your learning. If it’s not right for you, just email me and I’ll refund you within those 14 days. After that, refunds aren’t available.

Still got a question?

You'll find your answer here.

This is for someone who has tried to learn a language before, maybe you’ve seen some success, but now things have got difficult.

Life has changed. You’re busier, you don’t have the time you used to and you can’t drop everything for a full-on immersion program!

You still love languages but you’re falling out of love with learning them because it feels like it’s not working like it used to.

You’ve been at the same level for ages – stuck at the plateau waiting for a real breakthrough to the next level.

You’re learning multiple languages (or have experience with studying more than one in the past) but wouldn’t really call yourself a polyglot.

Most clients do, but it’s not necessary! Language Life meets you where you are.

Many members have tried learning before, but beginners fit in perfectly too. I don’t teach a specific language; I teach you how to learn any language effectively. And that skill is valuable no matter your level.

If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, email me at lindsay@doeslanguages.com and we’ll talk it through together.

Generally, I tend to say 20-30 minutes a week.

Language Life is a 12 month program, with 12 chapters in the curriculum.

The video lessons in each chapter average to about an hour.

The exact total of the core curriculum videos is 12 hours 2 minutes and 18 seconds!

So completely doable in a year! 

Everything else is pretty much a few minutes here and there – asking a question, listening to my answer on our private podcast feed, submitting your monthly review for feedback.

This is something that’s been designed to fit in neatly alongside your language learning without much disruption.

Nope! Language Life teaches you how to learn any language.

Once you know this stuff, you can go on to learn any language you want or need in the easiest and quickest way possible for you.

Nope! 

The Self-Study Library in Language Life is exclusive to this program and goes much deeper. 

Successful Self-Study is a smaller, self-contained course with no personal support.

With Language Life, you get the full package – the exclusive Self-Study Library, human support and feedback, and regular practice.

Not at all!

Naturally, speaking is something many of us want to do well in another language. So pieces of the program like the Speak 28×28 Challenge are there to help you get better at speaking.

But, I know that speaking isn’t everyone’s main goal. And besides, working across different skills helps you improve as a whole!

So this is a program to give you fuller, well-rounded fluency, not just speaking.

I’ll be honest, I’ve not seen anything else quite like Language Life!

There’s self-study options like books or courses to teach you how to learn. There’s the option of working with a language coach. And then there’s stuff out there to help you actually practice and improve your languages.

But they’re typically on their own. 

Language Life combines it all! This is a full program designed to be your last language learning investment.

Absolutely! Many members are multilingual learners.

In fact, there’s a full lesson devoted to managing multiple languages, where I share my own Multiple Language Models to make progress easier and quicker than ever.

No. And that’s intentional.

I know that during our 12 months together in Language Life, there’ll inevitably be moments where life is “life-ing”… and that’s actually a good thing!

Language Life is designed to be your companion through the ups and downs. With a 12-month experience, you can move through growth phases and handle life’s interruptions with guidance and support.

Plus, you’ll have time to revisit, reflect, and integrate everything while still receiving feedback.

More than a fix, this is a one-year partnership that gives you skills for life.

Try it for 14 days. Use it and see how it fits your learning. If it’s not right for you, just email me and I’ll refund you within those 14 days. After that, refunds aren’t available.

Katy B
It's great, especially if you want to focus on learning a language outside of regular classes. Lindsay is very kind and encouraging, and monthly reviews means you get accountability.
Evelina
My approach to learning a language is much more effective... and fun! I have picked up numerous tips for improving how I approach speaking, reading, listening to and writing Finnish. The shame of making mistakes has been replaced by self-compassion and self-belief. Lindsay is a talented guide, genuinely committed to providing support no matter what stage you are at.
Emma
Lindsay is great--she's a wealth of knowledge and experience and if she doesn't already know the answer she knows where to find out the answer!
Leora
Language Life is a fantastic program that will help you be equipped with the tools you need to start or continue to learn any language you want in the long run. You'll have multiple opportunities to ask Lindsay any questions you may have since she has been very supportive of my language journey throughout my time in Language Life!
Rebecca
Even if you're a confident language learner, there's a lot to learn from the lessons and especially from the live interactions. This program can level-up your ability to structure your language learning and strategize learning across several languages. 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 H
If you are curious about expanding your language learning experience and you want a structure around which to create your own personal language course, you could not make a better investment than Lindsay’s Language Life.
