Most language students don’t know how to effectively use their time to learn a language. Typically an aspiring language student selects one of two primary ways of learning: Signing up to a class, or downloading a language learning app.

Language learning apps:

• Most language learning apps attempt to teach you language through their app. The premise is that time spent on the app is time well spent learning a language. Unfortunately research suggests real-world interaction is essential for effective language learning.

Classroom learning:

• While classrooms can be an element within an effective learning pathway, class alone does not bring students to fluency. Language students needs a far more holistic plan that teaches them how to immerse themselves in community environments and how to make the most of those opportunities.

Developing a highly effective language learning plan is not easy. Hence our research shows us that students who are coached through their language learning attain their fluency goals in a fraction of the time it takes non-coached students.

The Grow Fast Grow Deep app is not seeking to be a complete language acquisition tool, instead it is your coaching solution. By learning about your circumstances and Artificial Intelligence, Grow Fast Grow Deep will track your progress, give you feedback on your strengths and weaknesses, advise you on techniques that are most needed by you at your current point of development, and guide you in fruitful self-evaluation.

We can provide both teaching and coaching.

Coaching is about choosing learning techniques (strategies) that work for you and are most effective for your current level of language competence. Coaching is a huge time and money saver. A well-coached language student can learn in twice or three-times the speed of a student who receives no personalized coaching.

Surprisingly the most effective learning pathways recognized by linguistic research do not revolve primarily around surrendering your language learning into the hands of a language classroom teacher. It involves developing techniques that work for you. Techniques to immerse yourself amongst native speakers. Techniques to give your plenty of opportunities to practice and receive feedback from native speakers. Techniques to effectively internalize what you are learning. Techniques to avoid wasted time and effort.

Coaching is about finding that most effective pathway for you.

Formal instruction in your target language can be obtained from a variety of sources – books, online resources, registering to a class, or hiring a personal tutor. To tailor to our user’s different budgets we allow our students to find and select their own language teaching method. However our GOLD plan provides language teaching options for our students who want the best results in the fastest time.

Language coaching is the process of assessing a student’s progress and directing them in the most effective strategies. Our Coaching is based on the most recent insights from Applied Linguistics for Second Language Acquisition. Language coaching is a huge time and money saver. A well-coached language student can learn in twice or three-times the speed of a student who receives no personalized coaching.

We ask you questions about your current learning environment, style, progress and personality. This information is matched to similar students and the success they have seen using different language learning techniques. Drawing from a huge databank of proven strategies and techniques, we match you with the advice you need right now in your language journey to see the best results.
