Learn Portuguese in deep relaxation or under hypnosis

Almost everyone who ends up on this page wonders: er, learning Portuguese under hypnosis…? What’s that like? How does it actually work? Read on a little further and we’ll explain!

When you hear the word hypnosis, you may associate it with hypnosis shows or magic performances. But rest assured, our hypnosis has nothing to do with any of that. And it doesn’t feel weird either. You aren’t ‘gone’ or ‘out of control’ while under hypnosis.

What does hypnosis feel like?

Suppose you are enjoying your hobby. You can stay at it for hours, it never gets boring. You also completely lose track of time and you no longer pay any attention to what is happening around you: you are completely absorbed in your hobby. The outside world doesn’t exist anymore for you for a short while.

That’s exactly what hypnosis feels like during your Portuguese class. So nothing special. You focus completely on your Portuguese course, and all other things don’t matter for a while.

How do lessons under hypnosis work?

All Portuguese lessons at Heart of Language are offered 1-on-1. You sit or lie in an easy chair and wear headphones. Through your headphones you hear the voice of your teacher talking to you in a reassuring, calm way. Relaxing instrumental music plays in the background. This soothing soundscape  ensures that you fall into deep relaxation or hypnosis while you listen.

Now, you’re fully relaxed and completely focused on what your teacher is saying to you in the headphones. You internalise your lesson material easily and don’t have to make an effort to concentrate. That’s why learning Portuguese under hypnosis works so well: you are completely mentally present with undivided attention.
