Real talk: I was disappointed in myself. In 2023, I realized that students at the Calgary Language Nerds progressed slowly.

I also noticed that most people didn't take many lessons. I think the average used to be something like 16 hours of class per person...in the course of a year.

Considering that the vast majority of learners at the time didn't do much self-study or homework (if any), 16 hours is quite simply not enough.

For the first time since then, I'm proud of the work we're doing. Far more students really are getting better. We can measure their progress. The best part is that it looks like we really are on the pathway to being able to guarantee fluency for those who take lessons.

Can't wait to keep building!
