About RILYMI

Finding Gaps

Rilymi is our formula to help solve an old problem: adult speakers trying to improve their fluency in second languages. Assimilating new words is not easy for adults.

Our background in the performing arts allowed us to see a gap in the process, which is usually not covered.

The speed of real-life conversations makes it difficult for our adult brains to recall the words that we already know and prepare our motor system for speech on time.

When our mouths are ready, our brains are not. When our brain is prepared, our mouth fails us.

The moment passes and we must wait until life offers a new conversation in which to use these words that we couldn’t use this time.

If the situation does not come very often, we cannot build the necessary repetition in action and thus, these words do not become part of our active vocabulary.

Fortunately, we can exercise repetition in action. We only need to create the appropriate space and use the right tools.

Some tools that can help us bridge that gap come from acting. Scientific research shows we have good reasons to use them for language learning.

These are the 10 components of our formula:

Content that mirrors reality
Chunks of Speech
Repetition in Action
Association
Resonance
Emotion
Flexible Contexts
Body-Brain connection
Goal-Oriented Focus
Deep Work

In Rilymi, we fuse knowledge of language learning, the performing arts and scientific research on cognition. These 3 areas of research converge in beautiful manners giving us fantastic gems for our purpose.

What does Rilymi stand for? RILYMI is the acronym for:

Read It Like You Mean It.

Because that’s exactly what this is about – Adult second language speakers reading and saying things like they really mean them.

And guess what? If you pronounce Rilymi as in “Really Me”, this will tell you exactly what we are looking for:

We want you to be really you in your second language; through “being” other fluent speakers for a while.

Welcome to our tool to help you enhance your fluency!

Flow and Resonance

In Rilymi, we see languages as rivers; rivers that have no end and keep flowing.

The scenes of life that happen in a certain language are the water flowing through it.

As you navigate that river, you encounter the same chunks of speech repeatedly, but you only rarely notice them. You are focused on the people in the scenes, the situations, the emotions, what you will have for dinner, and much more.

In the background, all these chunks of speech are creating resonance within you.

Until, one day…

You spit the words out in the most natural way. You are astonished!

And you must be. You did something wonderful:

You let yourself go with the flow of your background resonance.

And this is the first step towards becoming fluent.

It feels so spontaneous when you speak so naturally that you would never think you are only partly creating your speech.

For a large part, you are recreating what others said many times before you.

Rilymi is a reproduction of the river and also the boat on which you will navigate it.

We want the language to resonate with you and you to resonate with the language.

Until, hopefully, one day,

You will let yourself go with the flow and become the river.
