How to start learning a language from zero

Webinar overview
Speaking a foreign language from zero isn’t about memorising endless vocabulary or following a single method: it’s about understanding how to learn effectively from day one. In this webinar, our host Valentina (Content Manager at Lingoda) is joined by polyglot and language content creator Eylül (@eylulnim) to break down what actually works when starting a new language from scratch. Drawing on Eylül’s experience of learning multiple languages over more than 14 years, you’ll learn how to choose the right resources, build a personalised content library, and approach learning in a way that fits your goals. Through practical strategies, real-life examples, and an open live Q&A, you’ll leave with a clear, actionable plan to start your language journey with confidence.
Topics covered
- Find your "why"
- Make a schedule that actually works
- Choose your textbook
- Create your own content library
