Every question. Answered honestly.
Language Adventure: $1,600 (Spanish-S. American, French, Italian, German, Portuguese-Brazilian). Continued subscription: $249/month. Financing through Affirm at checkout.
That was a mistake. The old sales model required a discovery call before pricing was discussed. We understand why that felt suspicious — because it was a legitimate red flag. The new website has published pricing on every page. You will never have to speak to anyone to find out what this costs.
Yes, you can finance your adventure directly on the purchase page without speaking to anyone.
LMA is built around language acquisition rather than language learning. Learning focuses on vocabulary memorization and grammar rules. Acquisition focuses on creating the conditions in which your brain absorbs a language naturally, through genuine human connection and emotionally engaged conversation with a native speaker. See The Method page for a full explanation.
No more than 90 minutes of active participation per day during the 28-day adventure. This was not disclosed clearly enough in the past — it was only mentioned on the discovery call. That was wrong. We state it clearly here, on the homepage, and on the program page.
Sessions are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM Eastern Time, and Saturday and Sunday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern Time. We'll help you find times that work within this window.
We ask for at least 3 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a session. If you cancel or reschedule with less notice than that, or don't show up at all, a $20 fee is charged immediately to your payment method on file — the same way an unlimited studio membership works.
A no-show also removes your eligibility for the Language Breakthrough Guarantee. Rescheduled sessions are fine as long as your Adventure still finishes within the 33-day guarantee window — if enough rescheduling pushes you past that, the guarantee no longer applies, regardless of the reason.
To remain eligible for the Language Breakthrough Guarantee, your Adventure must be completed within 33 calendar days of the day it begins. This window is specifically calibrated to produce the breakthrough outcome, and it does not pause or extend for any reason.
You can still complete your Adventure beyond 33 days — you have up to 40 days total to finish. But completing after day 33 means the guarantee no longer applies. We can't continue extending the program indefinitely, so the 40-day mark is a hard stop either way. Your guide will help you stay on track well before either deadline matters.
No prior knowledge is required. Students with no exposure to a complex language (Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, Korean) will typically need a longer pre-program — 6 to 8 weeks rather than 2 to 4. Your guide will assess this in your first session.
Yes. All sessions are conducted via video call. You need a reliable internet connection, a camera, and a microphone.
Another legitimate criticism. The information was gated behind a form. That was friction that served no one. The full language list is now visible on this site before any form fill or purchase.
Your Language Guide is your dedicated point of contact from the moment you enroll through the end of your Adventure. They start by assessing your language baseline, then work with you throughout the pre-program to prepare you for the intensive. During your Adventure, they check in regularly, track your progress on the LMA Platform, and are the person you go to with any questions, concerns, or challenges along the way. Your Language Guide is not the same as your Language Companion — your Companion is who you practice speaking with, while your Guide is who oversees your progress and keeps your Adventure on track.
Your guide makes the companion match based on a detailed understanding of your personality and goals. If the connection isn't right, tell your guide immediately — we will find a better match.
No. You can purchase directly on this website right now. A free 15-minute intro call is available if you want to hear about the program before buying, but it is never required.
The old model was built around a high-touch sales process that required human interaction before pricing or enrollment. That model created friction and felt suspicious. The new model is fully self-serve. Buy when you're ready, on your schedule.
No. The full program price is subject to our guarantee as described on the Our Guarantee page.
A Language Breakthrough is a specific, measurable outcome — not a feeling. It has been achieved when you can hold a 30-minute conversation with your Language Guide in your target language, OR when you advance at least two sub-levels on the CEFR scale from your documented baseline. LMA's assessment is final.
If you follow the program in full — completing within 33 days, using all assigned tools, attending all sessions, completing all assignments — and do not achieve the breakthrough, LMA repeats your adventure at no charge (Tier 1). If you complete the repeat in full and still no breakthrough, LMA issues a full refund within 100 calendar days (Tier 2).
Subjective dissatisfaction, not liking the companion or methodology, or failing to complete the program within 33 days. The guarantee is available once per customer. Accessing the guarantee process means permanent ineligibility to purchase future LMA services.
Completing the Adventure within 33 days, following all Language Guide instructions, completing all assigned work, communicating challenges during the program (not after), and attending all sessions. Every customer signs an acknowledgment of these requirements at enrollment.
Matej KM Sedmak is the founder of LMA and a polyglot who speaks eight languages. He developed the LMA method over 20 years, with early versions tested in Japan between 2014 and 2018. He works directly with the guide team weekly and is actively involved in the methodology.
We know this has been asked in online communities, and we understand why the old website raised those questions. No published pricing. No methodology explanation. No language list. A required sales call. These were all legitimate red flags and we don't dismiss them. The new LMA addresses every one: published pricing everywhere, full methodology explanation, complete language list, self-serve purchase, professional communication, and a specific objective money-back guarantee. We were a real program with a marketing model that made us look like one. That model is gone.
