4 weeks to speaking confidence.
Any language, any level.

Speaking is scary.

The risk of forgetting vocab, messing up your word order, and butchering pronunciation.

And…the biggest fear – fear of embarrassment. In front of people you care about, respect, and love.

It’s not easy to speak in another language – even if you feel fluent when you read, watch, listen, write…

Speaking is always the hardest part.

It's not about perfection.

Speaking confidence doesn’t come from flawless language skills.

You don’t need to wait to start speaking.

There’s nothing on your “To Do Before I’m Ready to Speak” checklist that will magically make it easier.

But there is something that helps you speak fearlessly now, whatever your level…

It's about confidence.

And that confidence comes when you know how speaking works (& how it works for you).

It’s not about binge learning more words. It’s about knowing how to say more with the words you already know.

It’s not about waiting until you’ve done enough grammar drills. It’s about working around the complexities to be understood.

It's about speaking fearlessly.

Feel prepared for real life speaking moments, even unexpected ones.
Find speaking confidence today, without waiting to be solid in more vocab & grammar.
Overall, my confidence in front of the mic has grown immensely. I know that my active vocab is much smaller than my passive, but I am not unique. A pause does not lead to a panic attack. Stumbling over a word is not a hanging offence!

Hey, I'm Lindsay.

I’m Lindsay. I do languages. And I’m on a mission to teach you how to learn a language. Yes, you! My courses and programs are a big part of that mission because it’s all about making language learning fun and still making progress. Win win, huh?

I’ve recently completed my MA in Applied Linguistics and spent the past two decades plus of my life learning languages, which means you can trust I know my stuff.

When I’m not sharing how to learn languages on the internet, I’m trying new-to-me sports (because being a beginner is the best!), hunting down old language books, and playing with my tortoise Gonzo (who speaks a grand total of zero languages).

Frequently Asked Questions

A 28 day challenge that gets you speaking fearlessly & intuitively with daily video lessons and prompts. So you can use the language you’re learning today, whatever level you’re at right now.

No, there’s no pressure to join live. You can join today and take on the challenge when it suits you – as many times as you like!

Absolutely! You’re at a huge advantage to start now because you’ll save yourself years of waiting to be “ready” to speak. 

The truth? You’re ready now, you just need to know how to find the confidence to speak fearlessly at the level you’re at.

Not at all! The video lesson topics and daily prompts have been designed to be flexible and adaptable for all levels. 

Whatever level you are in the language you’re learning right now, if you struggle with speaking, this challenge is for you.

The video lessons are between 3 minutes and 12 minutes long.

The shortest is 3 minutes 33 seconds, the longest is 12 minutes 34 seconds. The average video length is 7 minutes 20 seconds.

The prompt itself can take as little or as much time to respond to as you wish, depending on the time available that day, the energy you have for it, and how deeply you want to cover it.

All things considered, I’d say if you can put aside at least 15 minutes a day for a month, you’ll start to see results. 

Remember, this challenge is about increasing your speaking confidence, and a big part of that is developing a Solo Speaking Habit, which is what dedicating this time each day for the month will help to do.

The Speak 28×28 Challenge is ‘language agnostic’ – like pretty much everything I create. 

That means it’s designed to work for you regardless of the language you’re studying. Over the years, I’ve worked with learners studying a wide range of languages from French, Japanese, and Spanish to Hawaiian, Danish and Māori. 

I myself use these same processes to study many different languages too, so I’m sure this will work for your language as well.

This is exactly why the challenge exists.

You won’t be expected to go out and deplete all your energy (& time) attending meet-ups, language exchanges and classes.

In this challenge, instead of the default advice, you will create a Solo Speaking Habit. 

That means you’ll be practising alone, where no-one can hear your mistakes or judge you…except for yourself.

And I know you may be your harshest critic! That’s why the daily lessons include a focus on mindset and confidence training and not just “tips to speak more”. You are the most important part of the process, and you are considered in this challenge.

Don’t worry! It may well happen, that’s ok.

It’s not about chasing a perfect streak. Progress in this challenge is about practice, not perfection.

You have lifetime access (lifetime of the challenge, aka as long as the challenge is sold) and can’t fall behind because it’s not a competition with others, simply a challenge for yourself.

So you can easily catch up if you miss a day or two here and there. No problem.

Nope! This challenge is about creating a Solo Speaking Habit. 

We can’t expect to get good at speaking without practising, and that proactiveness doesn’t always have to involve another person every single time.

You’ll have so many ideas to practise speaking that you’ll never get bored, or suffer from stage fright when the moment comes to use your speaking skills and show off your fluency.

Here’s the detailed rundown:

🎥 28 Video Lessons – each focused on a different topic relevant to speaking, including things you’ve probably not come across before (we go beyond pronunciation!)

💬 28 Speaking Prompts – each prompt is linked to the topic of the daily video. They’re smart, non-generic prompts that work at any level for any language.

📊 Optional Progress Tracking – submit your prompts and weekly check-ins for the chance to easily track your progress throughout the challenge.

It’s really easy to get passive input and forget to speak. 

And then…someone is stood in front of us, we need to speak the language, and…we freeze.

We need to include speaking practice in our language learning routines – and not just lessons or exchanges with others. We need to practice speaking solo. 

Actually speaking out loud every day (like you’ll do in this challenge and beyond) builds speaking muscles and confidence. 

So you can speak fearlessly and intuitively, whatever your level.

No. Due to the digital nature of this product, I do not offer refunds.

Plus, because this challenge is a commitment to yourself, I don’t offer you an easy out – that doesn’t help you truly commit. Once you’re in, you’re in. You got this!
