IT'S THERE, NAGGING YOU...
As much as you try to relax
watching your favourite show,
I know you hear

You want it all.
No shame in that.

Dinner’s done, it’s going dark outside, and you’re feeling stuffed and tired.

There’s an answer here.

I never teach anything I don't do myself.
Watch and Learn was created out of my desire for language learning that doesn’t feel like the boring option. For language learning that’s both a need and a want. For language learning that’s fun.
Because from my 20+ years of learning 14+ languages, I’ve learnt that the best results come from when I’m enjoying myself and making progress. Not from when I’m forcing myself through grammar exercises, nor from when I’m being way too passive with the fun stuff.
In Watch and Learn, you’ll discover exactly how to make TV and film go from passive extra thing to core language resource.
This was great value for money; I learned a lot. I had no idea some of the tools shared existed and the possibilities they offer are really impressive!

MEET YOUR LANGUAGE GUIDE
Hey, I'm Lindsay.
And I’m on a mission to teach you how to learn a language. Yes, you! Watch & Learn is a big part of that mission because it’s all about making language learning fun whilst still productive. Win win, huh?
I’ve recently completed my MA in Applied Linguistics and spent the past 2 decades plus of my life learning languages, which means 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 vintage jewellery, and playing with my tortoise Gonzo (who speaks a grand total of zero languages.)

This is how Almodóvar & Squid Game become language resources for me.
Withing becoming a chore or a bore.
Watch and Learn does things differently. With digestible video lessons combining linguistic research with practical experience, your language learning changes:
✅ Enjoyable and tangible progress
✅ More authority over your own learning
✅ Deeper cultural understanding
(Yes, you’ll be that friend piping up with “lost in translation” facts when watching that Scandi noir.)

I struggle to find material at the right level, but I learnt some new things I didn't know I could do in Watch & Learn!

No questions, I'm ready for Watch & Learn!
Do I need Watch & Learn?
I help smart, independent language learners take control of their own process and progress. So I know you’re here because you’re already smart enough to have decided to learn a language and follow through with it.
Because of that, I also know that you don’t need Watch and Learn to learn languages. Much like you don’t need anything other than the motivation and purpose to keep showing up and learning.
But sometimes, that motivation needs a little nudge in the right direction to keep you moving forward. That’s where Watch and Learn comes in.
You see, it’s so important for me that smart solo language learners know how to mix fun into their flow and that includes taking a typically passive activity – watching TV and films – and knowing how and when to make it a more active part of your learning process.
Watch and Learn is perfect for the solo language learner who wants to enhance their language time and stop having to choose between Amazon Prime and Arabic pronunciation.
