Learn to Speak a New Language in 3 Months With a Course Built Entirely Around You
27 out of 27 students have successfully spoken their target language after completing this program.
Not some of them. Not most of them. All of them.
If you’ve tried apps, classes, textbooks, or YouTube videos and still can’t hold a conversation, the problem was never you. It was the method. Every one of those approaches gives you the same generic curriculum and hopes it sticks. This course does the opposite. Every week, every exercise, every resource is built around your language, your goals, your schedule, and your life.
This is the same methodology behind the 200+ articles on this site and the strategies that thousands of subscribers use every week except applied directly to you, by me, with real time feedback and accountability.
I’m ready take me to the interest form.
How It Works
It starts with a one hour conversation. We talk about where you are now, where you want to be, why you’re learning, and what your life actually looks like day to day. From there, I build your program.
Choose your track:
4 Weeks — The Foundation For learners who want a structured launchpad. You’ll walk away with a daily system, core vocabulary, foundational grammar, and the habits that make everything else possible. Best for people who want a framework they can continue executing on their own.
8 Weeks — The Accelerator For learners who want to make serious, measurable progress. Covers everything in the 4 week track plus expanded verb tenses, targeted vocabulary for your specific use case, reading and writing exercises, and structured speaking practice. Most students start holding basic conversations by the end of this track.
12 Weeks — The Full Program (3 Months to Conversational) The complete system. This is how you go from beginner to conversational. Twelve weeks of progressive curriculum covering all five pillars: reading, writing, speaking, listening, and translation. By the end, you will be having real, unscripted conversations in your target language. This is the track with the 27-for-27 success record.
What You Get
Every program, regardless of length, includes:
A fully personalized curriculum. Not a template. Not a PDF you could find online. A week-by-week program built from scratch based on your target language, your goals, your profession, and your interests. If you’re a doctor, we work on medical vocabulary. If you’re learning Spanish to connect with your partner’s family, we work on the words you’ll actually use at the dinner table.
An individualized resource document. A curated library of audio, video, reading material, and exercises tailored to your level and interests. This is your immersion toolkit. Everything you need to surround yourself with your target language outside of our sessions.
Worksheets and writing exercises. Structured output practice designed to build the skill that most learners neglect. You’ll write every week, and you’ll get feedback.
A language patterns guide. For Romance language learners (Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese), this guide breaks down the structural patterns that let you build sentences on your own instead of memorizing phrases.
A copy of 3 Months to Conversational. The book that distills my entire methodology, yours to keep.
Two one-hour calls (included in base program). The first is your intake assessment — we evaluate your level and build your plan. The second is a mid-program check-in to adjust pacing, address gaps, and make sure you’re on track.
Premium Substack access. Full access to the paid subscriber archive, including all Guides and handbooks, for the duration of your course.
Optional: Weekly One-on-One Sessions
The base program is designed to stand on its own. But if you want to accelerate, and most of my students do, you can add weekly one on one sessions with me.
These sessions are where the real breakthroughs happen. I can correct your pronunciation in real time, push you through the uncomfortable moments where your brain wants to switch back to English, and adjust your curriculum on the fly based on what I’m hearing.
I charge hourly for one on ones. You choose how many sessions per week fit your schedule and budget. I recommend at least one per week if possible.
The students who see the fastest results are the ones who combine the personalized curriculum with weekly sessions. But I’ve also had students complete the program without any one on ones and still hit their goals. The course materials are built to work either way.
Who This Is For
This course is for you if:
You’re a complete beginner who has never studied a language before and wants to do it right from the start and do not waste months on an app before realizing you need something better.
You’ve been studying for a while and hit a wall. You can understand some things, maybe read a bit, but you can’t speak. You’ve tried Duolingo, YouTube, maybe even a class, and you’re stuck. You need someone to diagnose the gap and build a plan to fix it.
You’re a professional who needs a specific language skill. Doctors, nurses, engineers, business travelers, diplomats, people who need targeted vocabulary for their field, not generic conversational Spanish. I build specialized curricula for professionals regularly.
You’re learning for family. Your spouse, your partner’s parents, your grandparents, someone in your life speaks a language you don’t, and you’re tired of not being able to connect with them in their own language.
You’re preparing for an exam. TOEFL, CLEP, DELE, DELF, or any other proficiency test. I build exam-specific programs that prepare you for both the content and the pressure of test-day performance.
You want to learn a language I don’t personally speak. Even if your target language isn’t one of my five, I can build you a complete acquisition framework based on the patterns and strategies that work across all languages. You won’t get one-on-one conversation practice with me in that language, but you’ll get a curriculum, resources, and a system that works.
What My Students Say
“I have made more progress in four months than I have made my entire life trying to learn Spanish. My main goal was to learn Spanish so I could speak to my friend’s Panamanian grandmother who ONLY speaks Spanish, and I can tell it has strengthened my relationship with her. Not only is it good that I can communicate with her now, but I can tell she appreciates the fact that I put in the effort to learn her language.”
“I learned more in the first 4-6 weeks of his course than the 2 years of Spanish in high school. Our family could not believe we could speak in their native language in such a short amount of time. Not only did we learn a ton from his teaching methods and resources but we also had a lot of fun in class. On top of him being a great teacher he also custom fit the course to us with Puerto Rican slang and an amazing tailored resource guide, filled with audio and visual resources.”
“I told Odin about my biggest gaps and under 3 lessons, he managed to switch my mindset into a state of confidence without complicating things. Even though I had little time, so my scores were not perfect, I had scores good enough for the university, so they accepted me and I will go to New York this year!”
“Odin was very upfront with how the course would be challenging and that we would need to put in the work. This is a fast paced course that guides and encourages you to learn!”

Common Questions
How much does it cost? Pricing starts at $60 and largely depends on the track length (4, 8, or 12 weeks) and whether you add one on one sessions. Fill out the interest form and I’ll send you the full pricing breakdown along with a recommendation based on your goals. There’s no commitment required to ask.
What languages do you teach? I work directly in Spanish and French for one on one conversation practice. For any other language, I build a fully personalized curriculum and resource framework using the same methodology, adapted to your target language. Many of my most successful students have been learning languages I don’t personally speak, because the acquisition system works regardless of the specific language.
I’m a complete beginner. Is this too advanced for me? No. Every program starts from wherever you are. If that’s zero, we start at zero. Some of my best results have come from complete beginners, because they don’t have bad habits to unlearn.
I’ve been studying for years. Is this too basic? No. The intake call exists specifically to assess your level. If you’re intermediate, we skip the foundations and focus on breaking through wherever you’re stuck, usually output, speaking under pressure, or targeted vocabulary.
What if I can’t commit to a consistent schedule? The curriculum is designed to be flexible. Life happens. If you miss a week, we adjust. The materials are yours and they don’t expire. That said, the students who see the best results are the ones who show up consistently. I’ll be honest with you about what’s realistic given your availability.
Do I need to buy anything else? No. Everything is included. The curriculum, the resources, the book, the Substack access. The only additional cost is one on one sessions if you choose to add them.
