The Berlitz Method

The most effective way to learn a language

The most effective method

Language learning with Berlitz is an immersive experience.* The Berlitz Method was invented by our founder in 1878 and is still the most effective language learning technique used today.

Your lessons are conducted in the target language from day one and each activity focuses on a specific learning goal tailored to your needs.

Language is presented in the context of real-life situations, and rather than academic translations or grammar rules, we focus on the language skills you will need to navigate daily interactions. This allows you to gain confidence in actually using the language, rather than focusing on non-speaking skills.

Your instructors will guide you through a process of practice and presentation to help you quickly absorb what you’ve learned and progress to the next level.

Key elements of The Berlitz Method

Immersive

Your instructor teaches and addresses you in your target language only. Language is presented in context of real-life situations with a focus on grammar and vocabulary.

Goal oriented

Each lesson is task-based with specific learning goals. This allows you to put your new language to use in actual situations right away.

Present, practice, and perform

To help you absorb your new language, every lesson follows this structure. New content is presented by your instructor, you take part in both guided practice and general practice, and are then encouraged to perform what you have learnt.
