The Novel Formula

Your journey to finally learning a language is about to begin.

The Novel Formula is an online language learning course. In this course I teach you how to expand your vocabulary, improve your understanding of grammatical structure, and enhance your reading and listening comprehension skills in any alphabetic language in just 8 weeks.

Once these skills are mastered, you can progress to speaking in my follow-up course, The Language Formula (launching March 2024). After completing The Novel Formula, progressing to speaking proficiency will finally feel natural, effortless, and fast!

Who is this course for? 

This course is for anyone who:

1. Feels like they aren't making progress in learning a language or that their progress has stalled.

2. Can only speak simple phrases and is longing to finally have meaningful conversations with people (you need to go back to the basics and master vocabulary - how can you expect to have a conversation if you don't know the right words to express yourself).

3. Wants structure and a clear pathway on how to reach fluency.

4. Finds practicing consistently difficult (I provide heaps of language productivity hacks).

5. Anyone who wants to learn an alphabetic language.

What you'll get:

> Expert insights from me, a neuroscientist and polyglot who has used The Novel Formula to learn multiple languages, including German, Spanish, and French

> Access to over 20 online videos that will teach you step by step how to master vocabulary, expand your understanding of grammatical structure (without having to rote memorise grammar), increase your listening and reading comprehension, and accelerate the speed at which you learn a language

> Lifetime access to all course videos + materials, allowing you to apply The Novel Formula to any alphabetic language and enjoy the benefits of learning multiple languages

> Weekly emails to keep you accountable 

> Worksheets to put into practice the information from the videos

 

What People Are Saying:

OMG! I’ve never heard of anybody else who does this! I learned Spanish by reading (out loud, so as to try to get my ear used to the sound). I didn’t specifically try this narrow reading, but maybe it’s what I was doing in retrospect. (I actually started with Pimsleurs, but when I got to the end of the lessons, I was like, now what? – I still don’t know Spanish, so I started reading.

Woooow!!! . Thank you so much. Your approach and attitude is amazing. You have inspired me! I have been studying Spanish for five years at school and it is horrible…time to change it.

I got accepted into a business school to do an MBA and there were mandatory language requirements as part of the admissions process. I failed numerous times (and spent a small fortune) with online tutors, grammar text books and online apps as I was desperately trying to learn Spanish. I stumbled across Alina and she guided me through her Novel Formula program as a way to “get to first base” as she described it. I was blown away with the rapid progress and by week 6 I could understand “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*@k” by Mark Manson. By week 8 I could also understand Albert Camus’ The Outsider.

On first impressions it seemed the program was counterintuitive as it was so different to traditional learning methods where you learn grammar first and start speaking straight away. But as I progressed through the stages it was obvious the program was logical and intentional and most importantly, effective! I now know that fluency is achievable and Alina outlays a very clear pathway to get there with her two programs - so now I plan on continuing with The Language Formula program.
