Important question for passionate (and busy) language learners who are considering
adding a new language to their repertoire:
What If You Could Study More Languages Without Sacrificing the Progress You’ve Already Made?
Learning another language doesn’t mean you’re going to forget the one(s) you’ve learnt.
Let me show you how in Multilingual Power-Up.

If Life is a Bit Chaotic You Might Wonder if You Even have Time to Start a New Language…
I get it.
Between
- 💼 Working or studying full-time
- ☕️ Having a social life
- 🏄🏾♀️ Nonlanguage learning related hobbies
- 😌 And wanting to simply relax from time to time (you deserve it!)
the thought of adding a new language to your routine is daunting.
It’s especially daunting when you’re worried that all the progress you’ve made in your other language(s) is going to go down the drain if you add another.
🤔 Is it really possible to maintain your second language (or third, or fourth) while adding a new one?
(Yes! I do it all the time).
🤔 Can you really develop a reasonable study plan that fits around your life and existing schedule?
(Oui! Once you’re clear about your goals your action plan becomes a lot easier).
But there are some powerful misconceptions that could be holding you back from going all-in on your multilingual dreams.
And I’d like to pick them apart if you’ll indulge me.
“I was struggling with my Danish because the methods I'd used for
studying other languages weren't working this time. When I took the course I realised why the methods I used to depend on wouldn't work for Danish, so I was able to be more effective in how I studied it and make peace with slower progress.
Another key highlight for me was how Kerstin gives you permission to dabble with other languages. That took a lot of guilt away for me and actually dabbling in other languages helped unblock my progress in Danish.
I got my joy for language learning back thanks to Multilingual Power Up!
If you want to incorporate lots of languages and enjoy your language
learning, despite your busy schedule you should really take Multilingual
Power Up because it makes it easy.”

Myth 1: You Need to be at Least Upper Intermediate Before Adding a New Language
Are we learning languages or playing Mario Kart?!
Reaching an upper-intermediate level doesn't make you bulletproof: you never “complete” a language. And if you took a break without adding a 3rd language, you would also go a little rusty.
I’ve found that the key to progressing in more than one language at once is to stay realistic and confident, and to set very clear goals about the purpose of learning each language.
Once you understand your goals, you can then adapt specific learning models based on a time and intensity axis to help you maintain your current language and learn a new one.
You can absolutely do this without having reached a specific level.
Myth 2: Interference = Bad
How defeating does it feel when you’re constantly cymysgu Sprachen…sorry I mean mixing up languages every time you try to practise!
Fact is: interference is a natural part of language learning, and even the most bilingual folks get interference.
(I definitely get interference with my native German and English–does that mean I’m losing my mother tongue? Errr, probably not).
Interference doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It’s a badge of multilingual honour and a problem most people wished they had.
Imagine how far you'd get when you no longer have to worry about mixing up words?
(Spoiler alert: you'll learn to love your interference, not fear it, with Multilingual Power-Up).
Myth 3: Recovering a Language is difficult
Another big worry aspiring multilinguals often have is that taking a break from their current language will mean losing it.
But here’s the thing:
Some researchers say that we can never truly forget something that’s been committed to long-term memory.
I see this a lot with my French which I pause and pick up without ever dropping below a B1 level.
(And I haven’t formally studied French in about 20 years to give you an idea!)
In other words, it's safe to add more languages and slow down on others. The key to success is having a good plan, pacing yourself, and knowing a few tricks so you don't end up frustrated.
That’s why in Multilingual Power-Up we’ll focus on developing your own multilingual roadmap to suit your specific goals.
🥁 It’s time to introduce to you..

Salut, Ciao, Shw’mae, Hi there 👋
I’m Kerstin and I’m Living Proof that Learning Multiple Languages Can be Fun & Rewarding
Not that I’m some “hyperpolyglot” or anything. I’m just a language nerd like you who can’t bear the idea of strictly limiting myself to 2 languages.
You see, my world opens up a little bit more with each and every language that I study.
I don’t want you to miss out on that joy because some YouTuber told you you’ll derail your L2 by adding a new language.
I’ve been learning languages since before the internet was a thing and it shocked me how widespread views like this are.
I’d never followed any of the advice I’d read online and here I am a happy speaker of
German 🇩🇪, English 🇬🇧, French 🇫🇷, and Welsh 🏴 (and I get by with quite a few others!)
And here’s the thing:
I don’t want you to give up on your dreams of becoming multilingual,
which is why I’m so excited to bring you Multilingual Power-Up.
It’s time you finally gave into that little voice that tells you it’s time to study a new language.

If you Can Check 3/6 of These Boxes Then
Multilingual Power-Up is Perfect for You
- You truly enjoy language studies and want to expand your horizons. Maybe it’s so you can chat with new people, watch a movie without subtitles, or read your favourite novel in another language
- You need help creating a solid plan for how you’re going to tackle multiple languages at once (and have no idea where to start)
- Anytime you’ve tried to dabble in another language your L2 has fallen by the wayside
- You’re worried that you’ll lose what you’ve already learnt in your L2
- You’re overwhelmed with resources and need a simple plan to move forward
- You have no idea how to fit a new language into your already packed schedule
How did you do?
Give Multilingual Power Up a Miss If…
- you are only learning one language right now, not multiple. The models I use in this course are specific for learning multiple languages. Check out my other courses instead!
- You want a highly prescriptive “bullet-proof” formula that tells you exactly what to do and when to do it. What Multilingual Power-Up gives you is more valuable: the foundations and understanding you need to create your personal roadmap for learning multiple languages.
- signing up would put you in any financial danger. I would love you on the course! But never at the expense of your personal safety. Please don’t put yourself at risk in any way by signing up for the course.
You Might be Wondering…
What if I’m below a B2 level in my L2? Can I still learn another language?
You can definitely start learning another language even if you haven’t reached a B2 level in the language you’re studying now. You can always continue studying to reach a B2 while adding another language, but your progress might be slower.
And there’s nothing wrong with slower progress if adding another language to your study routine will bring you that warm, fuzzy, joy we all know from language study.
It’s all about managing expectations and understanding your goals so you can build a roadmap to help you get there.
I’m overwhelmed with how many resources I have. Won't this course just gather digital dust like my other resources?
I know this feeling! That’s why I always design my courses to get my students the results they want as quickly as possible. That means there’s not a ton of fluff or filler and I’ve condensed this course down to only what you need to know to successfully study multiple languages at a time.
You can get through it in an afternoon! So you won’t have to worry about finding a spare 14+ hours in your schedule to study.
Should I study two languages from the same family?
There are two camps:
- Never study two languages from the same family as it causes too much interference
- DO study from the same family because it’ll be easier to learn the new language.
Confusing, right?
I say this: there’s some truth to both arguments. However, your reasons for wanting to study the languages matter enormously. Our intrinsic motivations have a huge impact on our language learning success.
If you’re in love with Spanish and want to pick up some French for a dream holiday and be “travel fluent”, it makes no sense at all to not learn French. There are benefits and downsides, but your WHY matters more than anything,.
In Multilingual Power-Up I’ll show you how to leverage your “why” to create a reasonable study schedule you can actually stick to (and will enjoy!).
What’s the refund policy?
If you follow the advice in Multilingual Power-Up and find that it just doesn’t feel right for you at all, you can get your money back by asking me for a refund.
You have to request this refund by email within 14 days of purchase. I may ask you a few questions about your decisions, which is just my research so I can improve the way I market this course. Please note that this 14-day policy applies equally if you choose the split pay option at checkout.
Is there a live element to this course?
I know you have too much going on in your life to be forced to show up in a specific place at a specific time, so this is a self-paced course and you have instant access to the full curriculum after purchase.
I do run occasional "live rounds", which are a few weeks long and include optional live support elements. However, these are separate to the course content and entirely optional events that you will receive as a student on my course.
I have another question. Where can I ask it?
No problem! Contact me Using the chatbox on the bottom right of this page, or by email kerstin@fluentlanguage.co.uk
