FAQ

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and concentration. Many people compare it to becoming completely absorbed in a book, film, or activity, or to a guided meditation.

Hypnosis has been studied for decades across various scientific disciplines, including psychology and neuroscience.

At Heart of Language, hypnosis is used as part of the lesson structure to support a focused and relaxed learning environment.

Yes. During hypnosis, you remain fully present and in control.

You can hear the teacher, open your eyes, and pause the lesson if necessary. Hypnosis is not a form of sleep or unconsciousness.

No. Hypnosis is part of our teaching method, but you do not need to hold any particular beliefs about it in order to participate in the lessons.

That is not a problem. Many of our learners have no previous experience with hypnosis when they begin.

Your teacher will guide you through the process step by step.

Most lessons consist of three phases.

First, you are introduced to new words, sentences, or dialogues within the hypnosis phase. Next, you work together with your teacher on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and communication outside of hypnosis. In the final phase, the new language elements are further consolidated within the lesson structure using hypnosis.

Yes. We offer individual lessons as well as two-person courses.

This allows the course to be fully adapted to your level, goals, and learning pace.

Yes. After each lesson, you receive a short recording from your own lesson.

Many learners use these recordings between lessons to continue hearing and using the language on a regular basis.

This varies from one learner to another.

In addition to the recordings, your teacher may recommend exercises or activities that support your learning goals.

That is entirely up to you.
