How to start learning a language from zero

Webinar overview

  • Recorded on:May 12, 2026
  • Duration:5:00 pm (GMT+0200) – 60 mins

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
  • Balance active and passive practice
  • Live Q&A
