Are you looking for a method to master the practical fundamentals of a language in just a few weeks?
We have accelerated the natural learning process by enhancing key memory mechanisms.
Grasp – Escuchar – Repeat: This learning cycle, based on active retrieval and spaced repetition, guides you step by step towards deep and lasting language acquisition.
Simple to follow, motivated and backed by science, this method helps you steadily advance and achieve your goals with confidence and pleasure.
To support you on your path to natural and accurate use of the language, we offer you clear tools on grammar and the actual use of the taught expressions.
And lastly, speak out loud! Our program understands you, even when your answer is not perfect.
Below you will find three practical guides to help you structure your daily learning effectively.
The first lesson
Exploration
It is essential, at the beginning of a new course, to take the time to review all the content.
This step prepares your brain to effectively organize and memorize the information that is to come.
By doing so, you will establish a mind map which will be completed gradually, facilitating access and retention of knowledge.
Now, let’s examine how the course will unfold.
1 – Choose a theme: If you intend to cover all the topics, we recommend following the proposed order to move forward. However, you can also create your own path if you want to personalize your learning experience a little more.
2 – Check all the words in the topic: When you first discover a topic, take the time to understand the meaning of each word on the list, see how they are used, and listen to their pronunciation.
3 – Explore each word in detail (available only in certain courses): When information about the words is available, click on the “Information” button (the icon with the letter “i”) to discover, among other things, the origin of the word, mnemonic tricks to remember, and grammatical explanations about it.
4 – Read all the words out loud: Once you’ve finished this scanning work, go back to the top of the list and read each word out loud, ideally using voice recognition to check that your pronunciation is correct.
5 – Start a first series of tests: Now that you have reviewed each word in detail, start testing your knowledge with the quizzes (target icon). These tests are quick to complete
6 – Determine the next steps based on your results:
☑️No wrong answers: You can proceed to the next test.
☑️At least one wrong answer: It is advisable to repeat the same test until you make no mistakes.
7 – Change the subject: Once you have been tested on all the words in one topic, you can begin the same process in the next topic. You know you have no more tests to take on a topic when you no longer see the “Next Test” button at the end of the tests.
The following lessons
Examples
1 – Comprehension and Expression Tests: After exploring the content of a topic, spend subsequent sessions on tests designed to strengthen your memory and make it easier to learn more complex words.
2 – Handling Difficult Words: Errors in certain words cause them to appear more frequently on tests. For words with additional information, the “Information” button lights up red to encourage you to refer to the explanations and memorization tips.
3 – When to Move to the Next Test: It is recommended that you reach the maximum score on the current series of tests before starting a new test with new words.
3 – When to Move to the Next Test: It is recommended that you reach the maximum score on the current series of tests before starting a new test with new words.
4 – Understanding the Spaced Repetition Algorithm: Words are evaluated according to a schedule calculated to counteract natural forgetting. The tests gradually become more spaced out, and after five successful tests in about two months, the word becomes firmly anchored in your memory
Between the lessons
Immersion
1 – Immersive Learning: Use Immersion mode to hear expressions without looking at the screen in the morning and evening. This mode helps integrate the language into your daily life and makes you familiar with it.
2 – Mental Visualization: In addition to listening, we recommend that you visualize the words when you wake up and before going to sleep to optimize your receptivity and ensure significant results.
3 – Upon Waking Up: Listening to words and phrases right after waking up will prepare you to successfully complete the day’s training session.
4 – Before Sleep: At night, your brain in a relaxed state is particularly receptive, making it easier to integrate language into your thoughts and dreams.
5 – Personalization of the Immersion: Personalize your learning experience by adjusting the parameters to choose the words you want to hear and adding relaxing or dynamic music according to your preferences.
Our training courses
First contact
The first moments when learning a new language are often decisive.
The goal of our first course, “First Contact”, is to make these moments easy and fun.
Without any stress, you will progress in a few weeks to be able to handle ordinary situations encountered in everyday life.
This course is intended for people who do not have knowledge of the language they wish to learn.
Its uniqueness lies in taking the form of a practical conversation guide. That is why it does not systematically offer literal translations of your language. You will only find expressions authentically used by locals in the contexts defined by the illustrations.
Self-employed in 6 months
We are currently preparing a course that will provide you with essential knowledge in vocabulary and grammar, allowing you to communicate effectively in most everyday situations.
We will keep you informed regularly on this page about the launch of new courses.
Courses available at the beginning of the year: Spanish (for non-Spanish speakers)
Read aloud
It is more of a tool than a course. As its name suggests, this tool invites you to speak out loud using texts. Its objective is to encourage you to work exclusively on your pronunciation, without worrying about anything else.
It can be used regardless of your level.
A list of texts is provided, but you can also add your own.
Try working on a complete text every week: you will make impressive progress in just a few months, even if you don’t follow any courses!
Biography
“Hello, I’m Maritza Rodríguez, Your Guide to Conquering German in Switzerland.”
Who am I?
“Hello! I am Maritza Rodríguez, a Dominican more than happy to call Switzerland my home for more than two decades. Here I have lived, grown and raised my family. My path, like that of many who arrive in a new land, had its challenges, and the language was one of the first walls I had to climb.
Maybe that’s why, when I saw so many people in my community looking for help in the church – to understand a contract, to write a resume, to simply make themselves understood – my heart felt a calling. I felt the urgency to share what I had learned with so much effort at ECAAP, at Berufsschule Basel.
From that need to lend a hand, CRECENDA was born, a project with a taste of home and the aroma of new opportunities. And within that project, teaching German became my way of saying: ‘I was there, I understand what you feel and I want to help you make your path easier.’ Because learning German is not just memorizing vocabulary, it is gaining independence, it is feeling part of this wonderful Swiss land.”
Key Message: “I understand your challenges because I lived them. I am here to guide you every step of your way to mastering German and a successful life in Switzerland.”
Frequently Asked Questions
About TU PROFE
At TU PROFE, we believe that learning a language should be a simple, intuitive and enjoyable journey. From the beginning, we have taken an artisanal approach: each content is carefully crafted, each phrase translated and adapted to be immediately useful in real situations.
TU PROFE is not backed by a large corporation; Behind it all, there is a small passionate team of language and learning enthusiasts. We work hand in hand to create resources accessible to everyone, whether you are traveling, starting a new life abroad, or simply learning for pleasure.
We move at our own pace, without trying to flood the web with content. Our priority is quality: offering a clear and enjoyable learning experience that respects everyone’s time.
What does the name TU PROFE mean?
What are the advantages of natural language learning?
🎓 Traditional learning
- 📚 Word lists without context
- 🧮 Abstract grammar rules
- 🧱 Impossible to explore the content freely
- 🗯 Artificial or absurd phrases
- 🙊 Little or no oral exercise
- 🌱 Natural learning
(TU PROFE)
- 🗣 Useful phrases in real contexts
- 👂 Listening and natural repetition
- 🧠 Immersive understanding + clear explanations
- 🎤 Voice recognition to train pronunciation
- 🧩 Flexible but progressive structure
1 - Natural learning: immersive, dynamic and progressive
At TU PROFE, we have chosen to replicate as closely as possible the experience of a child learning their native language, but adapting it to adults who already know how to learn, read and analyze.
In practical terms, this means direct exposure to useful phrases in everyday situations, without separating vocabulary, grammar and culture. You learn just like in real life: listening, repeating and gradually understanding through context, driven by curiosity and the desire to explore.
All lessons are available from the beginning and can be explored freely. This freedom fosters an intuitive understanding of the language and helps build a personal mental map that supports long-term knowledge retention.
Powerful tools enrich this experience:
- Built-in speech recognition lets you practice speaking out loud, correct your pronunciation in real time, and gain fluency. Talking becomes second nature, not an ultimate stress test.
This tool turns passive learning into a truly interactive experience, putting you at the center of your own progress.
2 - A structure designed to support natural learning
Our method is intuitive and flexible, but is based on a solid pedagogical framework:
- A guided progression that supports without limiting
- Lessons based on real-world situations (travel, meetings, daily life…)
- Grammar sheets available for those who wish to go deeper
- Practical and immersive logic at every step
3 - A selection of vocabulary designed for real life
Unlike encyclopedic methods, we have chosen to focus on specific vocabulary:
- Essential words and expressions to get along quickly
- Realistic phrases — never absurd or out of context
- Regularly reused vocabulary to strengthen long-term memory.
➡ Fewer words, better chosen, for faster and more tangible results.
4 - Radical clarity in presentation
We believe that simplicity and immediacy are your best allies when learning. That’s why:
- The interface is clear and without distractions
- From the first moment, the learner is immersed in the language, visually and aurally.
In short: traditional learning teaches you to recite a language. Natural learning teaches you to live it. That is the key difference.
What differentiates your method from others?
TU PROFE has chosen a different path: practical, simple and lasting efficiency.
Our goal is not to capture your attention for a few minutes a day, but to help you truly acquire a language and start using it, even without a connection or app, from day one.
From the beginning, you gain access to useful vocabulary that can be used immediately. There are no artificial or peculiar phrases; Everything you learn is applicable in real life.
You have a clear vision of the entire course from the beginning, so you can organize your learning effectively. There are no locked levels or forced progression; You advance at your own pace.
Pronunciation is a key focus of the method, thanks to an integrated speech recognition system (available in Chrome and Android). You’re learning to speak, not just recognize words.
The learning process is both active and passive: you can listen to all the content in bilingual mode, with or without background music, to reinforce your knowledge even passively.
The method adapts to your pace: the reviews are personalized, the content is flexible, and you are not tied to a rigid framework. You have the freedom to build your own learning path.
Finally, you can continue learning even without a screen: all content is available in downloadable PDF and audio formats, so you can study anytime, anywhere — without the need for a digital interface.
TU PROFE is designed for those who want to learn freely, without depending on an algorithm or a gamified system. It is a method that respects your time, your intelligence… and your independence.
How many tests do you need to do per day to progress?
There is no strict rule, but it is recommended to have at least three sessions.
Remember that the first sessions are usually the longest, including the time needed to discover the material.
The “magic” of our method guarantees that, whatever time you can dedicate to learning, a harmony will be established between this time and the requests received for testing.
If the number of tests to be performed becomes too large, you will naturally reduce your pace, which will decrease demands. Our program will gradually adjust the order of the words to be learned to optimize your learning path based on your availability.
We recommend dedicating at least 3 hours per week to this training for optimal results. The pace can be adjusted according to your availability.
The most important thing is to train daily and never interrupt your training sessions for more than 2 or 3 days.
The first results will be visible from the first sessions, especially if you start from scratch. You will quickly see your progress.
How can I help my child learn a language without too many screens?
It is well established that excessive screen time can affect short-term health, medium-term cognitive abilities, and long-term personality development. These effects are even more pronounced in children.
At the same time, technological advances have transformed education, allowing young students to master a new language on their own from the age of 10 or 11, something that would have seemed impossible a few years ago.
To bring these two realities together, we have developed solutions that maximize educational benefits while minimizing screen time:
- Voice recognition with automatic progress: perform complete exercises without looking at the screen. This tool also improves confidence and speaking skills.
- Immersion Mode: Access audio content for a screen-free learning experience.
- Printable study sheets and downloadable audio files: Review independently, even completely offline.
- High-stakes practice tests: Focus only on exercises that truly improve comprehension and speaking/writing skills.
- Optimized Spaced Repetition Algorithm: Reduce learning time with a personalized review schedule tailored to your unique memory.
These tools are designed to provide an engaging, effective and interactive learning experience, while promoting digital well-being.
Our mission: to make students independent as quickly as possible, so that they can fully enjoy life, without increasing or reinforcing dependence on screens.
