The coaching retainer

Sixty days from now, real content in your target language starts working for you.

The retainer keeps you on the 250-word method with the person who built it. The entry phase closes cleanly, and the rest of your language learning runs on the shows, books, and hobbies you already have.

What the retainer is

A monthly rhythm with Nekh. A written plan for your real week, not a template. Calls on a set cadence, async messaging on WhatsApp between them, and a monthly read on where you actually are and what the next four weeks are aimed at. Interest words come in early, mirroring the app's own timing, and calibrate to what you already have.

The Zero to Hero app is a separate one-time purchase, not bundled into the retainer. If you have it, you keep it. If you do not, we decide together on the next monthly call whether it is worth it for what you are learning.

What every retainer includes

Every Coaching Retainer gets the same delivery. Session count and WhatsApp access do not change by tier.

• Two 45-minute coaching sessions per month, booked via Cal.com after your discovery call.
• Async WhatsApp access between sessions for questions, corrections, and course-adjustment.

Pricing

Retainer pricing sits at $200, $400, or $600 per month. Which tier you're on is set by cohort and season, not by what you get — delivery is identical across all three. Your discovery call sets which tier applies to you.

The rate you sign at is the rate you keep for as long as your subscription stays unbroken.

What coaching adds to the app

Zero to Hero is built for self-directed acquisition — the 200-word base plus 50 niche words, then real content in the target language. The retainer layers on the two things a self-directed learner cannot buy from an app: course-correction on where your listening is off, and accountability on a schedule you keep because someone is expecting you.

Cancellation

Free rebook if you cancel with at least 48 hours notice. No cash refunds.

Pick your tier

All three tiers run the same delivery: two 45-minute sessions per month plus async WhatsApp between them, same 250-word method. The tier you pay reflects how many clients Nekh has already taken on, not how much of him you get. The method is self-directed by design (you do the 250 words and the consuming), so the coaching is course-correction and accountability, not seat time. Pick the tier that matches the live rate today.

Micro-FAQ

Do I need the fluency planning call first?

Yes. The retainer assumes you have the plan from the $120 fluency planning call. If you sign up without it, we refund the first month and route you to the call so we start from the same page.

What if the count is not moving by month 2?

The call that sets month 2 is spent finding which part of the plan did not fit your real week and adjusting that. Not the method. The 250-word method has worked across English, Norwegian, Portuguese, and French. The plan adjusts. The method does not.

What if I want to switch languages mid-retainer?

Allowed. We adjust the 250 list at the next call. No second parallel plan.

Prefer to try the method on your own first? The Zero to Hero app is the daily drill built on the same 250-word foundation.
