The best way to learn a language is to actively speak and practice it. In our courses at Berlitz, all communication takes place in the target language – not only with your instructor but with your classmates as well. We also use role plays and simulations to link course content to everyday situations.
All of our lessons are based on the Berlitz Method. This allows you to learn all the key skills you will need when using a language: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Actively reading and writing is an integral part of our training. As a result, many of our courses feel more like workshops.
The training process is broken down into different stages. If you have no prior knowledge of a language, you will start with carefully monitored periods of practice, meaning that you will be corrected more frequently by your instructor. This will help you work on your pronunciation and the accuracy of your speech. The next stages are about putting what you have learned to use and joining in open conversations to practice. During this phase, your trainer will not correct you much. The exercises involving open conversation are an important part of improving fluency and feeling less inhibited about talking. It’s important to remember that making mistakes is part of the process and completely normal.
You may study more than one language at a time after taking an evaluation test and assessing your language fluency level.
Yes, they are. At Berlitz France, our lessons are a two-way flow between instructors and students with at least 50% participation of students during conversations.
