Fun
Language is a tool for communicating with lovely humans you meet on your journey through life, not a collection of complex rules to memorise.
Active
We believe that 90% of language should be verbal, either listening or speaking. The other 10% should be explained, discussed and written down.
Relevant
Our sessions are tailor made for you – we learn in real life – outside of the classroom using real everyday language and the topics that are important to you.
Lesson Structure
Our lessons are always one-to-one because that's what's effective.
The content of the lesson is defined your needs, either do something in your daily life like go grocery shopping or to a cafe... or you can focus on learning the language of a subject you choose like psychology or business.
You learn what's relevant to you and you'll learn faster because it's fun and "learning by doing" is more effective.
Hello! – 5 mins – You and your coach review what you want to achieve from your session, repeating what has been learned since the last session, what worked and what you want to learn today (no forced curriculum).
Let’s do it! – 50 mins – You can expect to be speaking and listening about 80% of the time (it’s probably more like 8% if you’re in a classroom!). Everything will be in the real world, out of the classroom.
Ciao for now! – 5 mins – Recap vocabulary learned during the session, dive into any specific knowledge gaps (sentence structure, etc), have a plan for what you’ll ‘notice’ until the next session.
Science!
The UNUmondo style of coaching is based on learning research developed by linguists over the last 60 years.
From these scientists evolved the Golden Formula that guides the natural path our students take.

Our golden formula
To learn a language, researchers have found that the following criteria are indispensable
NEED
Your reasons and purpose (your needs) for learning are what guide your lessons
INPUT
To learn more we need more data entering our brain, the understanding comes later... with repeated exposure
NOTICING
An increased awareness is what generates the understanding, as you make connections between what you know and what you want to know
OUTPUT
You can only learn to talk by speaking... you wouldn't expect to learn the piano without ever touching one!
HUMAN INTERACTION
You need human interaction to develop language fast. Sadly, monkeys just don't cut it.
