We believe that
the only way to be creative and feel happy
is personal and professional development
We are Language and Motivation
We created Language and Motivation because we believe that everyone deserves personal and professional development. The fact that we teach foreign languages quickly and effectively is a result of our experience and the method we use, as well as our conviction that we must pursue our dreams, like living abroad and working in the field that really interests us. We love what we do and combine our strengths to help our students learn a language with minimal effort!
In 2016, we were trained and inspired by professor Olivier Delhaye, who is the primary source of all this scientific knowledge. Since 2018 we have been based in the Netherlands, Greece and Belgium and the team of teachers is still growing.

The F.A.S.T. method is a revolutionary way of teaching. I could barely imagine teaching with a different method.

Stella Papadimitriou Teacher of French and English
Continuing education for professional competence or just for self-fulfillment is everyone's right. It is not that educational opportunities have been lacking but people craving for lifelong education need to overcome limitations. With 13 years of teaching history, Stella has seen people quit working on their goal of learning a new language because of the time-consuming and arduous traditional teaching methods.
With the F.A.S.T. method I help everyone discover or rediscover the motivation they need to reach their potential.

Gogo has been a German teacher since 2010. After graduation she started teaching German at different levels. Learning a foreign language is like opening a door to a new world. The German language can be more amazing than you ever thought in this world of languages.
Teaching German with the F.A.S.T. method is an interesting way to explore the language.
