Hi, I’m Hedvig.

I started Abundate.org with a mission to make language learning as normal as breathing.

I wish to help you discover the abundance of ways to reach your language learning goals. The learning journey can take you to wonderful and unexpected places.

If more people embraced language learning as a practice, I genuinely believe that the world would be a better place. Yes, seriously.

So if you're open to making language learning work for you in new and unexpected ways, then you've come to the right place.

(I’m not taking on new language coaching clients right now, but watch this space… Abundate isn’t going anywhere.)

 
 

My journey so far

I've worked as a barista, a telephone salesperson, a designer, a marketer, a customer success consultant, and now a language coach, course creator and business owner. It was my experience working in a tech startup that really prepared me for starting my own language coaching business in 2019. That’s when, at the age of 27, I began to pursue my dream of changing people's perspectives on language learning.

And now, honestly, I’ve realised that a large part of the language industry is, well, a little broken:

 

The human mind is powerful.

It's so easy to forget how much happens beneath our consciousness and on a neuronal level – even if you've studied it like I have.

The power of asking a question: How your mind instinctively comes up with an answer? What's 2+2? Now imagine a monkey in a tree… Your mind shows you these things without you consciously having to think about them.

So our reality is limited by…

1) the questions we're asking, and

2) our imaginations.

That's my work: Helping people ask different questions and imagine new possibilities.

 

Conversational learning, beyond coaching

I believe in slowing down and listening to different perspectives. As Co-Founder of Stories Across Borders, I design and facilitate cross-cultural dialogues that bring diverse personal stories into meaningful conversation. Over 20 events, I've seen how the right questions help us challenge assumptions, find common ground, and think differently. Real learning happens through conversation, not lectures.
