"These creative suggestions allow one to have the tools to speak, inside us, inside our brains, for use. Instead of being magical, gifted to those who learned when young, learning to speak is available to all older adults, with effort."

"Shortly after my move to Spain, we got hit by Covid19. I didn't speak Spanish and knew no one! Within just 2 months, I find myself being able to have casual conversations. I have ways to go but, this course surprised me. Thank you Olly."

"I loved the Polyglot Playbook. Great tips for learning new languages! But also lots of encouragement, just as important. It was especially helpful to get tips on working with tutors. This gave me the confidence to work with a tutor myself. "

"Learning French this way is so much less laborious than the usual textbook methods. Seeing and hearing how French is spoken everyday. You are actually living the language! You take in how words are pronounced and see grammar in action!"
