Polydemy — academy of natural language acquisition
Every course below runs the same way: small group, one moderator, real conversation, corrections in the moment. What changes is what you're actually talking about — and who else is in the room with you.
All courses on this page are online. Want it in person, in Barcelona? That's BCN Conversation Lab →
| Apps / Duolingo | Language exchanges / tandem | Polydemy Conversation Lab | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Output | None. You tap, you match, you never open your mouth. | Yes. You do talk. | Yes. You finish your sentence, every session. |
| Feedback | None. A green tick is not a correction. | Whoever turns up, if they notice, if they dare. | A native polyglot, every session, in the moment. |
| Result | Input piles up. Your mouth stays shut. | You talk — and fossilize your own mistakes. | Mistakes get caught before they set. |
Talking isn't the hard part. Talking wrong, unnoticed, for three years — that's the part that costs you.
Three 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.

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.
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 €15.75 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.
English for the meetings you can't afford to freeze in.
You can write the email fine. Then the call starts, someone asks a direct question, and you're translating your own argument in your head while three people wait. Business Language is built for that exact gap — real workplace scenarios, corrected in the room, not a business-English textbook with “synergy” in it.
Negotiations, client calls, giving and taking feedback, meetings, small talk with international colleagues, defending the thing you wrote in the email out loud.

English for the seminar room, not the entrance exam.
Reading academic English is one skill. Holding your own in a seminar, presenting your own research, disagreeing with a professor in real time — that's a different one, and nobody teaches it separately. Academic Language does.
Seminar-style discussion, presenting your own work, taking questions on it, disagreeing with a source or a peer, the reflexes formal writing doesn't teach you.
| Language | English only |

| Price | On request — depends on your field and the group we form |
IT. Science. Economics. Whatever your field actually calls things.
Generic professional English tops out fast once your job needs specific words nobody outside it uses. Specialised Language groups people in the same field, so the conversation is the one you're actually going to have at work — a stand-up, a lab meeting, a report walkthrough — not a generic “describe your job” exercise.
Field-specific scenarios — standups and incident talk for IT, presenting and discussing papers for Science, reports and analysis for Economics — built around the vocabulary your job already uses.

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.
Because the right group depends on your field and how intensively you need it — the same way we set up Spanish A1 groups on request instead of pre-scheduling them. Tell us what you need and we'll quote it before you commit to anything.
Yes — same underlying method, different room. Message us and we'll move you once a spot opens.
You didn’t spend years learning this language just to keep it as a party trick you never use.
