The seeds of Language Up were sown in the frozen mountains of Kyrgyzstan in the winter of 2020.
We were spending a few days in the snow, with Tim gliding and Esther falling down the ski slopes, and enjoying cosy evenings eating delicious Central Asian dishes and playing board games.
A chance encounter with a family learning a new language led us to wonder, contemplate and dream.
As we tucked into dessert, we delved into questions like: ‘why is learning a language so hard?’, ‘what makes people continue or give up when they are learning a language?’, ‘what unhelpful myths stop people from progressing with a new language?’ and ‘what can we do to help people not give up?’.
What started as an idea and lots of questions turned into a pilot programme of language mentoring, and that pilot programme led to hours of research and conversations to get us to the point of incorporating Language Up in December 2022.
Keen to support language learners, we wanted to combine our experience in language teaching with this new initiative in language mentoring.
Now we’re looking forward to helping language learners see the bright future they have. Whether it’s in the classroom or in mentoring sessions, we are excited to help you up your language.
