Language school marketing ideas: everyone has an app streak and no words
The fastest way to market a language school online is to add vanes: one tap questions on apps, speaking confidence and which languages to teach. Two seconds to answer, anonymous, and the tally reaches people who feel stuck.

Language school poll questions to steal
Questions people actually answer.
Paste these into the builder or swap in your own courses. What learners feel foolish about is what your site should name.
Reach the app graveyard
Millions of people have a streak and no conversation, and they blame themselves. Telling them it is a known limitation, with a tally to prove it, is the most effective thing a language school can publish.
Where should it go on a language school website?
The right format for every part of your site.
The best spots are the courses page, the beginners page, the method page, the trial class confirmation, and the blog.

What owners ask us.
How do language schools attract adult learners?
Speak to the app graveyard. A large audience has a multi year streak and cannot hold a conversation, and a tally showing that is a known limitation rather than personal failure converts far better than a course list.
What should a language school website have besides a timetable?
An honest position on how people actually learn to speak. It differentiates you from apps and from schools that lead with grammar syllabi.
Can students choose new languages?
Yes. A ranked ballot means a new class opens with students who asked for it, which is the difference between running and cancelling it.
Do learners need an account?
No. Anonymous single taps, which is why people admit how little they can say.
