FACT #1
MANY PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ANOTHER LANGUAGE
According to a recent survey on foreign
languages in the UK, 64% of the
population said that they have
always wanted to speak one, 45%
admit being embarrassed by not
being able to do so, 33% can hold
a basic conversation and 16%
can speak to a high standard.
FACT #2
MOST PEOPLE UNFORTUNATELY GIVE UP AFTER A FEW MONTHS
Learning a language is like climbing a
mountain and the temptation of
givingup is often too great.
Anybody that has ever attempted
to do so knowshow disheartening
it can be to feellike you are getting
somewhere, onlyto realise how
much further you have to go.
FACT #3
THE IMMERSION TECHNIQUE: BEST WAY OF LEARNING A LANGUAGE
Immersing yourself in the culture of the
country where the language is
spoken is crucial if you want to be
successful. This is the way
children naturally learn their
mother tongue, you get used to
how the language is spoken in real
life, and learn to let your fears go.
OUR
SERVICES
Learning foreign languages is a real necessity when you live in a globalised and ever-changing world. We all meet or work with individuals from other countries and cultures, and only speaking English is therefore not enough to really make the most of these encounters.
​
A recent post-Brexit research by the British Council found that more than 80% of UK adults cannot hold a conversation in a foreign language, with fears that public apathy towards languages risks harming the economy. Moreover, most people learning foreign languages find it very challenging, and often give up after just a few months.
We, at Experience Lingo, believe that this is mostly due to the way foreign languages are taught and learned e.g. listening to a teacher while glancing at a book in between four walls, or typing away on an app.
​
Our mission is to change this status-quo when it comes to teaching and learning foreign languages, and offer you a myriad of opportunities to increase your cultural awareness and boost your language skills.
At Experience Lingo, we truly believe that learning a language is not only learning the alphabet, the meaning and arrangement of words, or even the grammar rules, but it is also learning the behaviour of a society and its cultural customs. We therefore strive to empower learners to tackle cultural challenges and take on new experiences.
You’ll find below more information on the four pillars of our language learning programme: our linguistic weekends to Paris or Barcelona, our language coaching sessions for multilingual people or families, our networking events for international parents living in London, as well as our tailor-made language lessons for busy people. And please don't hesitate to contact us if you can’t find what you’re looking for!

OUR
APPROACH
Our approach blends empirical evidence with practical experience. Growing up in multicultural households or having lived in many different countries, our team of coaches have met thousands of people experiencing the exact same pros and cons of a multilingual life.
At Experience Lingo, we want to give you as many opportunities as possible to experience the advantages of multilingualism e.g. getting better career opportunities, searching for love, seeking adventure, etc. while avoiding the common pitfalls. We want to help you strengthen your roots and grow strong family trees.
Our approach is specifically crafted for people who do not have the opportunity to experience the best way of learning a language i.e. the immersion technique, where you move abroad to be directly exposed to the culture of the countries where the language is spoken.
Our unique coaching and teaching methods are based on online as well as in-person opportunities that help you improve your language skills while getting a glimpse into the culture and civilisation of other countries.
