Why It Works

This method is backed by research showing that:

But only if you know how to do it right.

    “Woooow!!! Thank you so much. Your approach and attitude is amazing. You have inspired me! I have been studying Spanish for five years at school and it is horrible…time to change it.”

  • Testimonies

    On first impressions it seemed the program was counterintuitive as it was so different to traditional learning methods where you learn grammar first and start speaking straight away. But as I progressed through the stages it was obvious the program was logical and intentional and most importantly, effective! I now know that fluency is achievable and Alina outlays a very clear pathway to get there with her two programs - so now I plan on continuing with The Language Formula program.

  • Testimonies

    I got accepted into a business school to do an MBA and there were mandatory language requirements as part of the admissions process. I failed numerous times (and spent a small fortune) with online tutors, grammar text books and online apps as I was desperately trying to learn Spanish. I stumbled across Alina and she guided me through her Novel Formula program as a way to “get to first base” as she described it. I was blown away with the rapid progress and by week 6 I could understand “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*@k” by Mark Manson. By week 8 I could also understand Albert Camus’ The Outsider.

  • Testimonies

    “I purchased The Novel Formula because I want to improve my foriegn language skills, and have tried other methods over the years with little success. Your method looked very different and I’m a big reader anyway, so using novels really appealed to me.”

  • Testimonies

    “Your videos are really useful in explaining how it works, how it feels mid process, and how multiple listens work. You are upfront about what a commitment this is and it was good to hear upfront that it would take work, and that this was unavoidable. Your videos are very helpful, and I’ve referred back to them at multiple points to stay motivated - especially when getting through my first book.”
