Our modern, conversational approach
to language learning makes our classes enjoyable and effective.
With our conversational method of language training, you may be surprised
at how quickly you learn to speak a new language. Our methodology is designed
to make students comfortable using the new language in practical, everyday
situations, such as traveling, meeting people, using the telephone, conducting
business, and participating in conversations. Thanks to our communicative
and dynamic approach, you will find yourself speaking your new language
from the first day of class.
In addition to using an effective methodology, our teachers have university
degrees and have received extensive training in how to teach a foreign language.
You’ll find our instructors not only well qualified, but also friendly,
patient, enthusiastic, and always available for questions and guidance.
This combination of a highly effective methodology and qualified, dedicated
teachers means that wherever you study and at whichever level you begin
your course, you will be guaranteed to improve as quickly as possible.
These are some of the basic principles
of our methodology:
No Translation in
Class
Our schools use the direct method of language instruction, which means
that the student and the teacher speak only in the language being
learned. There is never any translation in the classroom and this
makes you talk and think in the new language. Students are always
amazed at how quickly and easily they learn with this method!
Teacher Rotation
The people you speak with every day all have different accents, voices,
pronunciation, and vocabulary; therefore, it is important that you
not become accustomed to just one teacher. Our schools rotate teachers
in class, exposing you to many types of speakers and ensuring that
you understand the language in a variety of situations. Teacher rotation
also keeps class fresh and interesting.
Emphasis on Communication
Our methodology focuses on speaking and listening. Grammar, reading,
and writing are all included, but we teach it through a very practical
approach without being tedious, boring, or repetitive. You will speak
the language, not analyze it. We believe that the key to learning
a new language is communication.
Materials & Homework
Study materials such as textbooks and workbooks are included in your
program. Additionally, you may be assigned a small amount of homework.
This will give you the opportunity to continue your language learning
outside the classroom and to supplement your conversational instruction
with some reading and writing.
