I created a language learning method that helps you learn French in 4 months

I've been learning German recently - at a slow pace, I'm busy. I'm intrigued, though skeptical. I'll certainly give it a shot if there's a German version.

If your tool is really as good as you claim you'll have a lot of word of mouth recommendations in the language learning community, but everyone has seen "fluent in 3 months through x special method" so I doubt people will give it a shot if it's paid.

I recommend offering a free trial of the start of the course so that people can see for themselves.

20 minute conversations sounds like B1 at a minimum. Four months to B1 is pretty much impossible even with people studying all day, at least with German. How did you do it? How many hours of study are done in these four months? What's your approach?

I presume you're a native French speaker (the "help you" rather than "helps you" is a Frenchism in my experience). How do you intend to create the other courses?

Good luck. This sounds interesting.

I'm all in favor of something new for learning languages, but hesitant to say I'm in on something when the description is this vague. Show some examples of what you are talking about and I might be interested, otherwise there isn't enough information here to really catch my attention.

I'm actually looking around for courses/textbooks at the moment. I'd say the things I'm looking for are: - Speaking practice and a focus on getting OK pronunciation early. At least according to the German Discord, it's important to get pronunciation correct from the start. If you don't it becomes very difficult to break bad habits across many hundreds of words.

- Effectiveness over dogma: I would prefer a course that focuses on teaching effectively through multiple different methods rather than being hyperfocused on one of them. If your secret is really as good as you claim you might not need this, but I'm sceptical.

- Practical vocabulary. Duolingo etc have a reputation for teaching you absolutely useless words and phrases. Particularly at the start it would be useful to beeline for a target, be that "get by on holiday" or "have a conversation with another learner/a native simplifying their language".

- Spaced repetition. I'm using Anki, but the decks aren't very good. Spaced repetition is basically a cheat code to learning, and if you integrate a good algorithm it will absolutely differentiate a course.

- Cost. I'm a student doing this in my free time. I don't want to spend lots of money, particularly when there are lots of good resources already out there. Why buy this over just using the many available resources? You have to offer something.

- Realism. I'd prefer "Learn in one year, one hour a day" that is truthful and realistic to "Learn in 3 months 10 minutes a day!" because I just know that that's untrue. - CEFR alignment. It just makes things easier. - Corniness gets on my nerves. Some videos are alright but please don't try to act.

I would recommend going into language learning communities - reddit, discord, etc - to see what they're looking for. You'd also benefit a lot from sharing some more details about your course.

In for English but for a friend of mine.

Agreed. The litmus test for me is "would HN would be a fun place to visit if front page was filled with similar post to this (posts advertising their app idea and trying to gather an mail list)" - and the answer is nope.

Best of luck OP, but I think you should post again once your idea has more substance.
