About Chiara Maggi — Language Coach in Brussels
Struggling to speak a language despite taking endless courses?
Do you want to learn Italian, English, French, or Dutch online - but feel too exhausted after work to attend evening classes?
That's exactly why I built Fluency by Frequency.
Hi, I’m Chiara
I'm originally from Lecco, Lake Como in Italy, and since 2018 I've been living in Brussels. I speak Italian, English, French, Flemish Dutch, and Persian — and in every case, what actually made me fluent wasn't the classroom. It was daily contact with the language, in real life, with real people.
I help adult learners speak Italian, English, French, or Dutch naturally — without live classes, without Zoom fatigue, and without adding extra hours at your desk.
You can work with me starting from scratch, or use my method to activate what you've already learned in your courses. Yes, you can learn to speak a language from zero asynchronously, without living in the country.
Why Is Speaking So Difficult?
Many learners struggle because traditional language courses neglect speaking practice.
Speaking requires:
- Confidence (built only through real-life experience)
- Pronunciation and articulation (which can cover grammar mistakes)
- Consistency (short, daily practice—not just once a week in class)
That's why Fluency by Frequency is designed around small daily steps, not intensive weekly sessions without follow-up.
How I Got Here
I used to work as a communication consultant in Brussels. Six months in, I started compulsively listening to entrepreneurship podcasts. When COVID hit, I quit and followed what I'd always loved: helping people learn languages through speaking.
When I'm not coaching, you'll probably find me walking around Brussels listening to music, joining conversation tables to help newcomers with French and Dutch, or playing the daf — an Iranian frame drum — at home.
