The most intensive way of learning
Total Immersion helps you achieve your linguistic objectives in record time. In one week you are guaranteed the accomplishment of your learning goals with course content customized to suit your specific needs. This program is for you if you want to see immediate improvement. Ideal choice for those who are getting ready for a mission abroad, are about to attend a conference, or simply do not want to spend long months studying.
Developed in collaboration with the McGill University Department of Psychology in Montreal, Total Immersion is the quickest and most effective way to master a new language. The Berlitz Method is renowned for its immersion teaching technique, and this program takes that principle to the next level. It consists of one-on-one instruction with a Berlitz trainer in 12 daily lessons. A team of 3 qualified native-fluent speaker trainers help you face any inhibitions you may have, keeping you speaking at least 50% of the time. If you are looking for intensive language solutions, then Total Immersion is your best choice.
Intensive daily use of the language in practical real-life situations will give you amazing confidence to communicate with people in person, since the course is focused mostly on practical conversational skills. Personalized attention with 100% lesson time learning – you are the center of attention!
Total Immersion includes
- Full-day intensive language lessons — 12 lessons daily.
- The undivided attention of a 3-member team of instructors.
- One "double lesson" every day (in the fourth unit of the day), which gives you the opportunity to engage in a free-flowing conversation with 2 instructors simultaneously.
- Lunch sessions with your personal language instructor every day so you can practice in a social environment outside of the classroom.
- Tech class: we provide you a 10-day access to Cyber Teachers for the week of your program. Your instructors will assign personalized exercises for you on this digital learning platform, which you can do during the second half of the day on your laptop or on one of the computers in the language center.
- Standard schedule: every weekday from 9.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. (other options are available as well).
- Content topics & skills are designed to suit your specific needs, type of job or destination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both our private and group classes are made up of 45-minute units, including a 5-minute break. Our students normally take two units at a time, so the minimal length of one session is 90 minutes (2 units) with breaks as needed.
Our international group classes (Berlitz Live Online) last either 60 or 90 minutes, depending on group size.
The coaching sessions that come with our Berlitz Flexible online courses are 25 minutes long.
The group workshops accessible from our Cyber Teachers student platform last 30 minutes each.
The ideal level of intensity varies from student to student, but a minimum of two sessions per week (2X2) is generally recommended. During the free consultation prior to enrollment, we explore, among other things, what your expectations are about reaching your goals and how much time you can devote to language learning in general. Based on this information, our consultant will then give you an offer customized to your personal needs.
In order to assess our students’ language competency levels more accurately, we have developed our own competency scale, which offers a finer differentiation than the one provided by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).Our students’ listening comprehension and active speaking skills are tested against and placed along a level-scheme that extends from 1 (beginner level) to 10 (native level).
The number of units needed to complete a Berlitz competency level depends on the type of course taken:
- private course: 40 units
- group course: 50 units
- Berlitz live online: 60 units
- Berlitz Flexible online course: 6 months
- Berlitz Cyber Teachers student platform: 6 months, assuming 30 minutes of daily use
Once you sign up for a Berlitz language course, we will assess your language proficiency and indicate the right language program for your needs and goals. Prior to the course you can also test your current level with our online placement test which is available to test your language skills in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
The time required to achieve the goals you set for yourself depends on your current level of competence and on the intensity of the course. So the answer to this question is determined through a free level test combined with a pre-enrollment consultation with our instructional specialist so you can be given a truly personalized offer.
Our instructors are native speakers or professionals that speak the target language at a native level. Many of our instructors have a background in business as well. Before they can teach our classes, all our instructors must pass our internal Berlitz Training course, where they learn the Berlitz method together with all the relevant course materials and class management techniques. Their work is regularly monitored by our chief instructional specialist.
We use our own self-developed general language and business materials, which are available both online and in paper-based print versions.
The course package contains the student book matching your skill level and interests as well as the audio recordings that come with the book.
