HOW I WENT FROM A MONOLINGUAL KID...

I come from a monolingual family in Spain.

Like you, I struggled for YEARS trying to learn English.

I tried all methods and tips, without much success.

Until eventually, through a ridiculous amount of persistence and experimentation, I started figuring out what actually worked for me.

Then I learnt English and a total of 9 languages, and I trained and worked as a professional translator and conference interpreter for 5+ years.

But I wanted to become a teacher and share my passion for languages with others.

...TO EXPERT IN LANGUAGE EDUCATION & INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION

First, I went to Scotland to train as a secondary school teacher (PGDE). But that wasn't deep enough.

So I did a PhD in Language Education. I wanted to fully understand how the brain learns languages - so I could help my students learn faster and better than ever before.

After 10+ years teaching languages across Europe, I joined the University of Cambridge's department for language exams, where I worked closely with 80+ European partners, including the European Union and the Council of Europe.

Then I joined the UN's office in Geneva (CH) to coordinate several international communication projects, and lately I worked as a senior leader for several American corporations, including Caterpillar and Procter & Gamble.

...TO COACH FOR AMBITUOUS ENTREPRENEURS - AND LANGUAGE STUDENTS AROUND THE WORLD

Despite working for 10+ years as a manager, my passion for languages and communication was growing stronger every day.

So, after a serious health issue in 2023, I decided to quit my corporate career and focus on what I love most: helping people learn languages more effectively.

In 2024, I launched my coaching business (in collaboration with some of the world's best experts) to help ambitious entrepreneurs improve their communication skills in English as fast as possible.

However, for months I was getting daily messages from students who needed advice to learn languages faster and better. So I decided to revamp an old hobby-project:

Dr Languages.

My goal now is to help the 1.5 billion people trying to learn a language around the world - so they can understand how their unique brain learns languages and finally become fluent in their target language(s).
