Polydemy Conversation Lab
You understand everything. You read a menu, a news article, a text from your mother-in-law. Then someone asks you a question out loud and you turn into a golden retriever hearing a doorbell. Eyes wide. No output.
That’s not a language problem. That’s a talking problem. Different muscle. We only train that one.
Hola
Bonjour
Hello
Small groups, one native speaker, one job: get you to talk more than you’re comfortable with.
You’ve had a 400-day Duolingo streak and you still ordered “the water” in English last time you were in Madrid.
Start speaking Spanish
Structured enough you won’t get lost. Loose enough you’ll stop sounding like you’re reading subtitles out loud.
Start speaking French
Run by someone who has personally frozen mid-sentence in five different languages and knows exactly the moment it’s about to happen to you.
Start speaking EnglishThree steps in the same ladder. Same format, same rules — the difference is how much you can already do out loud.
Start from zero, by talking.
Available on request · Spanish only, for now“I get it, I just don’t say it.”
“Grammatically correct, personality-free.”
Absolute Spanish beginners: see the A1 card above — set up on request.
Our method, in one line
No whiteboard. No “today we’re learning the subjunctive.” You say something, out loud, mid-conversation — and your teacher hands it back to you. “You just said that in the past tense. Why? What would change if you said it differently?”
You end up explaining your own sentence to yourself. That’s the part that actually sticks — not because someone told you the rule, but because you noticed it in something you actually said.
60 - 75 minutes. Enough to matter, not enough to dread.
3 - 4 people. Small enough you can’t quietly disappear into the background.
Strangers become people you actually talk to. That’s the whole trick.
The group picks it together, week to week.
1 month minimum. This is a relationship, not a hookup.
1 or 2 sessions a week. Your call.
The honest reason most people never speak a second language out loud: someone corrects them mid-sentence and they never recover. So we built the opposite of that.
No interruptions. Interruptions are where confidence goes to hide.
Your teacher tracks 2 or 3 things worth fixing. Not everything. Nobody needs a full transcript of their mistakes.
“Instead of X, try Y.” No grammar lecture. No tangents. Just something you’ll actually remember using.
What worked. What to steal from each other. What you did better than last week.
No punch cards. No spreadsheet of "how many classes were in this month". You pick a rhythm, we bill it flat, you show up.
≈ €15 per class
Pay €15 upfront to try. Monthly subscription starts only if you continue.
Two rhythms, two formats. Twice a week online is the best per-class value.
| Plan | Frequency | Per class | Monthly price |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-person · Barcelona | 1×/week | €15 | €60 |
| In-person · Barcelona | 2×/week | €15 | €120 |
| Online | 1×/week | €15 | €60 |
| Online | 2×/week | €12 | €99 Best value |
Because showing up twice a week is what actually breaks the freeze. We reward the commitment, we don't punish it — 2×/week online drops the per-class price from €15 to €12.
Nothing changes on your end. Some months run short (a public holiday cuts a class). Some run long (a 5-week month hands you an extra one). It averages out — that's why the price is flat, not something you need to track or ask about.
Yes — changes take effect on your next billing cycle, group space permitting.
Yes. €15, paid upfront, separately from any subscription. If you don't continue, that's the end of it. If you do continue, the monthly subscription starts on top — the trial fee is not credited back.
Not “describe your morning routine.” Things adults actually have opinions on. Conversations you’d have anyway. Just in a different language.
Pick your language.
Fill out a short form. Two minutes, not a personality quiz.
Tell us your real level. We’re placing you correctly, not grading you.
We match you to a group that actually fits how you talk.
Sophie messages you on WhatsApp within 24 hours. An actual human typing actual words, not an automated sequence.
You didn’t spend years learning this language just to keep it as a party trick you never use.
