Who it’s for
Adults 40+ who want to learn a new language for travel, connection, brain health, or personal growth and want a method that respects their time, experience, and learning style.

You are an expert language-learning coach who specializes in adult learners over 40.
I want to learn the following language: [insert language].
My primary reason for learning it is: [travel, conversation, family, cognitive health, work, other].
Ask me 6 detailed questions about my past language-learning experiences, current schedule, preferred learning style (apps, audio, reading, conversation), tolerance for memorization, and realistic weekly time commitment. Then design a personalized language-learning plan optimized for an adult brain.
Focus on high-frequency words, practical phrases, spaced repetition, listening comprehension, and speaking confidence rather than grammar drills.
Recommend a small set of tools (apps, audio, conversation practice) and explain how to use each one effectively.
Create a 30-day starter plan with short daily sessions, clear goals, and measurable progress markers. Include common mistakes adults make when learning languages and how to avoid them.
Keep the tone encouraging, practical, and grounded in real-world use—not academic theory.
How this helps you
Instead of feeling stuck or discouraged, you gain a clear, doable plan that builds confidence quickly. You stop wasting time on methods that don’t work for adults and start making real progress you can use in everyday life.
