Stop speaking.
Start having real conversations.

A human-centered, community space where we explore and master the art of conversation—together.
The missing piece in language learning.

✨ 🚀 From YouTube to the Academy – What’s Next?

You found Ecolinguist through YouTube. Maybe you were fascinated by mutual intelligibility experiments, surprised by how much you could understand, or inspired by how much fun language learning could be.

And maybe at some point, you thought:

  • “Why aren’t my language interactions this fun?”
  • “I want to be part of this! Why does nobody do this full-time?”
  • “Why do we never talk about this in traditional language learning?”
  • “How can I make my own conversations feel this natural and engaging?”

📌 YouTube is a language playground.

It’s where we experiment, explore, and uncover what makes conversations tick, how languages interact, and why they matter to us. You can read about what makes the Ecolinguist channel special here. While the channel sparks interest and shows what’s possible, it lacks structured practice, direct engagement, and a clear path for those who want to go deeper.

📌 Academy aims to become the structured training ground.

It’s the foundation for a space where people don’t just pass through, but commit and connect. It provides the structure, continuity, and interaction that YouTube alone cannot offer.

Beyond learning a language, Ecolinguist Academy is also for those exploring how to teach, engage learners, and create vibrant communities around meaningful language practice. This includes supporting minority languages, but the mission is broader—it’s about prioritizing human connection over AI-only shortcuts and ensuring language learning remains a social, interactive experience.

By focusing on conversation-based learning, structured guidance, and an engaged community, Academy builds on the curiosity sparked by YouTube and turns it into a sustainable, long-term space where language learners and educators can grow together.

Join the Academy

I’m Norbert Wierzbicki, a language educator and creator of the Ecolinguist YouTube channel. After years of making content about language connections, I wanted more than just sharing videos — I wanted a space to build, experiment, and collaborate with others who care about language as deeply as I do.

Ecolinguist Academy brings together learners, educators, and creators to explore new ways of practicing conversation, creating meaningful content, and building real community around it.
