What are the benefits of 15-minute lessons?

Lots of people are surprised when they reach out to me. Why? Because I don’t offer longer lessons (45/60 or 90-minute lessons).

Why?

Because they are a huge waste of money for most of the students… At the early stages of learning a language it’s really beneficial when you have a daily contact with the language (when you are made to speak). Both your mouth and your brain get used to producing these weird sounds that you don’t have in your mother tongue. All these strange structures that don’t make much sense at the beginning become more familiar later on.

How to achieve that?

Frequency is crucial for creating the neuron pathways in our brains. They are really fragile at the beginning, but become stronger and stronger over time (when they get activated frequently and regularly).

So that’s the reason having a 90-minute lesson isn’t as effective as having 15-minute lessons from Monday to Friday.

Why are 15-minute lessons so popular among my students?

1. it’s easy to stay focused for 15 minutes
2. their brains remember things much faster thanks to the frequency
3. it’s fun
4. even the busiest managers are able to connect for 15 minutes and make a step forward towards their goal

My students can see real progress. And when they do the extra activities (quizzes, games, tips etc.) that I share with them in their virtual classroom, their progress is even faster.

And what is the feedback from my students?

Whitney: „Myslím mnohem víc v češtině.“ (= I think much more in Czech)

David: „Včera se mi zdál sen v češtině.“ (= I had a dream in Czech last night)

Diana: „Nebojím se mluvit česky.“ (= I am not afraid to talk in Czech)
