The AI Language Coach: Master Any Language with 15 Minutes of Daily AI Coaching

Janie Arlene Acosta is a language educator, learning designer, and AI literacy consultant who has spent more than a decade helping busy professionals add a language to lives that already have no spare hours. A certified language instructor and former corporate training lead, she has designed learning programs for teams in finance, technology, healthcare, and international development — and has personally learned three languages as an adult, the most recent two with heavy help from AI coaching tools.

She is the creator of the Quarter-Hour Method, a framework that pairs daily micro-practice with AI-powered feedback, and she writes and speaks regularly about the intersection of artificial intelligence and adult learning. Her workshops and courses have reached professionals on three continents, and her practical approach to AI conversation practice has been featured in corporate training programs and professional development conferences.

Janie holds a graduate degree in applied linguistics and keeps a productive fondness for phrasebooks, street-food menus, and grammar drills disguised as podcasts. She practices what she preaches: every morning, before checking email, she spends fifteen minutes with her own AI coach in one of her non-native languages. She writes from her home studio in the Pacific Northwest, where she is engaged in a long-running, and largely unsuccessful, negotiation with a multilingual parrot.
