Who’s Behind It?

I’m Norbert Wierzbicki, creator of Ecolinguist and a language educator who has spent over a decade perfecting structured Polish conversation practice.
Through years of hands-on experience, I’ve tested and refined approaches that help learners move from passive understanding to confident, real-world communication. I’ve also worked with educators, content creators, and language communities to bridge the gap between content, engagement, and real learning.

From YouTube to Global Classroom

My mission is to connect people through languages

What began on YouTube as a journey to unravel the mysteries of mutual intelligibility among language families has now blossomed into the Ecolinguist Academy, a budding endeavor still in its formative stages. From its inception, my channel captured the imaginations of viewers worldwide, showcasing the power of understanding closely related languages without extensive study. This exploration sparked the creation of the Ecolinguist Academy, a growing platform where learners from every corner of the globe unite to delve into languages, share experiences, and illuminate lesser-known linguistic treasures.

Originally from Poland, I've made my home in Scotland, where the vision for the Ecolinguist Academy continues to unfold. My linguistic journey, which commenced with the rich tapestry of Slavic languages, has expanded to embrace the nuances of Romance, Germanic, Balto-Slavic, Finno-Ugric, and Celtic languages, with plans to explore even further horizons.

The Academy, much like the YouTube channel, is a testament to the profound connections language fosters. It is a space where ancient and extinct languages come alive, inviting learners to experience their linguistic heritage in an engaging and interactive format. As the Academy grows, it remains a collaborative project. Early participants play a crucial role in shaping its future, contributing to a community that values every voice and perspective.

I am dedicated to creating a platform that not only educates but also connects. The Ecolinguist Academy is an invitation to be part of a language learning evolution, where the journey of discovery is enriched by the collective input of its members. Together, we're not just learning languages; we're crafting a community.
