I’m convinced that LMA is the gold standard for language acquisition and there is not a single app or school on the market that comes remotely close to what they offer. Allow me to tell you my whole story…I tried many different methods to learn Hebrew with varying degrees of success. Most of the well known and widely promoted language learning apps like Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, or Babbel barely scratch the surface in terms of delivering the bare minimum content you would need to begin learning how to effectively speak a new language. I learned this the hard way, so hopefully I can save you some time and frustration. After failing with these online resources, I decided to make the most of the Covid lockdown, and I ended up spending 5 months studying at an online Hebrew school. Im not going to say that the experience didn’t contribute to my fundamental understanding of the Hebrew language. But by the end of the course I found that I still couldn’t really use anything I learned to functionally communicate in my target language. This for me was unacceptable, and I was certain that there had to be a better approach. So I started my own research into what it actually takes to master a new language, especially challenging languages that are structurally very distinct from the student’s native language, like Hebrew is to English. And I actually started discovering resources, mostly on YouTube that helped me understand why I had been failing up to that point. Now, probably because of online marketing algorithms, I’m all of a sudden getting inundated with ads from language companies on social media trying to sell me into their apps and programs. And ultimately, I come across LMA’s ad on Instagram, and the way they’re explaining their methodology resonates with what I’m discovering. So I took the sales call, and ultimately decided to dive in. Full disclosure, this is NOT a cheap program. But I was considering all of the time, money and energy that I had wasted with systems that simply didn’t work, so I decided that if LMA is actually capable of delivering on their promise, the price would be well worth it.So now I’ll explain what the experience was like for me in detail…The first thing that struck me was the amount of care they put into getting to know me and understanding my specific goals. They really go above and beyond paying attention to every detail, and they hold your hand the entire time and make micro adjustments to your program whenever needed. The basic structure of the program is that you are trained in a very specific methodology for how to “exercise” in your target language. Throughout the process it dawned on me that effectively acquiring a language is more like an athlete training for their sport than it is a student memorizing information related to their degree. Unfortunately, most language learning models still operate on the outdated academic concept and are oblivious to what I’m describing in my sports analogy. The basic premise is that you have to train different qualities associated with how the brain processes language. To use the analogy of a boxer, think of it as doing one type of training to help build muscle, another type of training to help build “sport specific skills”, another type of training to build cardiovascular endurance, and then all of these skills that you’re building being put to the test in regular “sparring sessions”. The sparring sessions are where you are thrown into conversations with a native speaker where you are only allowed to speak in the target language, so it’s like a forced immersion. And all of this is meticulously managed by a team dedicated to your success, including the equivalent of a “sports psychologist” whose job includes but is not limited to helping you with the mental and emotional blocks that so many adults deal with when trying to learn a new language. In conclusion, my experience was absolutely awesome. After my first adventure (the program sessions are called “adventures”), I was able to give a 10 minute, spontaneous speech in Hebrew, and consistently hold 30 minute conversations with a native speaker without relying on English at all. And I accomplished this with effectively 4 weeks total of intensive immersion in the methodology. There were a couple of weeks of light prep work in the beginning, but what I experienced was really a complete transformation where in the course of one month I acquired twice the amount of speaking ability than I accomplished in 5 months at the other school. Ultimately, I ended up doing three adventures, and I’m about to start my fourth next month.I know this is a really long review, but if you’ve read this far and you want to learn a new language, LMA is the way to go. And I forgot to mention that they offer almost every spoken language on the planet.
