Learn a New Language with Sketchnotes
A faster path to fluency.
Use the powerful combination of words and visuals to help you become fluent in a new language.
Break Barriers and Cross Borders
Have you always wanted to learn a new language, but have lacked the support to follow through on that desire? I think sketchnotes can help with that.
Throughout this course I'll help you map out your own language learning plan and provide you with sketchnoting activities to make the most of your language learning efforts.

This course was great for motivating me to study English in a different way. In addition to learning a new language I was able to learn new sketchnoting techniques to use in my studies!
