“The lessons are simple, the information is clear, Jamie gets straight to the point, and you have space to think.”
Before the Method
Linka is a native Spanish speaker who first met me scrolling through Instagram reels! After some back and forth, I realized I had to take her on as a client.
Watch the video below to learn more about Linka’s experiences with language learning before we worked together (including a 2-year Duolingo streak!).
“Language learning makes me feel stressed and overwhelmed.”
Phase 1
Linka was so excited to get started, and right from the very first lesson on Mindset, her attitude changed completely. Despite the fact that every lesson is general enough to apply to any language learner, I was so surprised to hear all the specific things about herself that she had realized were contributing to all her stress about language learning.
As the four weeks of Phase 1 went by, she did question the approach a little, but in the end, she decided to simply trust the process. As you can see in the video below, Linka was more than satisfied with her decision.
“I had this problem that I did not know where to start, what to learn next, what was really my goal.”
Phase 2
Linka was so surprised by how much confidence she had found in her language learning from just Phase 1 alone, she almost couldn’t wait for Phase 2. It was a lot of information, but even with her wildly busy schedule, she felt good about her ability to watch a 10-minute video at some point throughout her week.
After 6 weeks of taking in new information and processing what would be beneficial to her and her language goals, she finally knew exactly what she was looking for and how to find it based on her goals from Phase 1.
Watch the video below where Linka shares about her newfound confidence in her ability to navigate the world of language learning.
“Being able to know what I like, what I don’t like, makes it easier for me to discover which resource may I use.”
Phase 3
By the time Linka got to Phase 3, she had already learned so much more about herself than she had expected to…and she still had 4 weeks left! Those last lessons were the bullet in the coffin of her tossing out her self-sabotaging habits in favor of something a little more reasonable that she could expect to sustain long-term.

“If this is my hobby, this must be something that I enjoy.”
After The Method
After working together for 3 months, Linka went from frustrated and confused to confident and clear in her language learning! She had done the work to understand how to effectively learn a language in the long term and could finally see her language learning journey as she wanted it.
