Your training and teaching practice will be in an online learning environment with One trainer.
It’s particularly useful if you want the flexibility of online study, if you want to limit travel costs, or if you plan to learn English online.

Here's what they tell me:
"I have no time to learn a language"
"I'm not talented at languages"
"I don't know how to find the courage to talk to people"
“I bought a million and one books but I don’t have the motivation to use them.”
"I get nervous when initiating a conversation"
“I have no idea where to begin.”
"I'm scared of making mistakes and looking stupid"
Here's a glimpse into the new way of thinking about languages you'll discover inside the Englix. These hacks — and many others too — will become part of who you are and your mindset towards learning.
Most language courses tell you what to learn and how to learn it. They take a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s little wonder that many people leave school feeling “languages aren’t for me!” If you feel like that, it simply means the method of language teaching used at your school didn’t fit your learning style.
The truth is, we all learn differently. Depending on your learning style, different tools will work for you.
Our language hacking approach is an incredibly flexible system. It offers you the opportunity to try out different methods, tools, and techniques to see what works for you.
You can be as unconventional as you like. Our philosophy is that if it works for you, then do it!
Research from MIT shows that you work smarter and harder (and get better results) if you have deadlines — especially if you have lots of small deadlines that build up to a bigger deadline.
Englix will keep you focused on learning.
At the same time, you only have to keep up your learning. So when the going gets tough, you’ll know that it won’t always be that way.
You can be as unconventional as you like. Our philosophy is that if it works for you, then do it!
At times when you're learning a new language you’ll feel uncomfortable. It’s perfectly normal to feel that way when you’re meeting new people to chat with in a language you’re still learning.
So, as you speak your new language, you’ll be stepping outside your comfort zone.
Stepping outside your comfort zone — and feeling a little anxious — is good for learning. A small amount of anxiety helps you feel more focused, and perform better as you learn.
If you’re too relaxed, you’ll struggle to learn because you won’t have enough focus. The same is true if you’re too anxious. You’re aiming for what’s called “optimal arousal”.
In other words, it’s a good thing to take small steps outside your comfort zone. When you push yourself to feel a little anxious, you move up the arousal curve, and your performance improves.
Inside the Englix I guide you through this process of taking small steps beyond what feels comfortable, all the way to having real conversations with native speakers.
We learn languages to connect with others, right? At least I do.
That’s why I always say the best way to learn a language is to speak from day one. The sooner you start speaking, the sooner you’ll start connecting with others.
Plus you’ll be practicing the skill you actually want to learn.
The Englix is all about speaking a language. Sure, you can do listening, reading and writing as part of the challenge. But the goal is speaking.
I'll show you what it takes to find the confidence to speak a new language -- and have comfortable conversations with native speakers. You'll unlock your love of languages and find the confidence to finally connect.
You've got to be here because you want to be here. Not because your grandma wants you to, your mom wants you to, or because you vaguely believe it's a good idea to speak another language. If that's you, then step away. The Englix is only for people who are hungry to learn a language.
When you’re learning because you want to learn, you’ll perform better.
Wanting to be there is also called intrinsic motivation. And research shows that if you have this, you’re better at learning.
