Is the CEFR scale really the best way to measure language learning success? In episode 163 of Get richer, teacher podcast I dive into why rigid language levels might not be as useful as we think – and how shifting our focus to real people and their goals can completely change the way we teach and sell language courses.
Here’s what I cover in this episode:
- Why the CEFR scale exists and where it actually matters (spoiler: not as often as you think)
- How real-life language goals – like running a business, feeling confident in conversations, or staying connected to a language – are more important than levels.
- The problem with traditional language courses that treat learning like a step-by-step process from A1 to C2.
- Why traditional language schools often fail to meet students’ real needs.
- How thinking beyond language levels makes it easier to allows you to create more valuable, high-ticket offers that people are happy to pay for.

Hey, I’m Ola!
For the last 3 years I have been helping language teachers and coaches like you build profitable, sustainable and enjoyable businesses. I used to be a teacher, a teacher trainer and even ran my own language school in the past, but I am now focused on coaching teachers full-time (and I love it!) So far I have helped over 600 language educators from all over the world and my mission is to see the world where teachers thrive, enjoy the hell out of life and their job and have a great impact on their students lives, mainly through getting better at marketing and selling fabulous language group programs and definitely without burnout or selling their souls.
