Frequently asked questions

At our in-person classes you can study English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Hungarian along with some others on request. Please find the list of the language you can learn online here.

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.

We start courses continuously upon demand all year around.

We adjust the starting dates of our 4 to 8 person youth and children’s groups to terms of the school year.
