Here are a few testimonials from some of our satisfied customers!
"I was drawn to Langua World because of the variety of coursework options, and the quality of the teaching is what kept me there for an additional class. This coming autumn I will begin my first year in a Ph.D. program, and by the end of my second year I will have to proove reading proficiency in a foreign language. So when I began applying to schools six months ago, I hired a private tutor to get a headstart on French. My progression was slow, however, because we only met once a week, I didn't have peers to practice with, and the lessons relied more on strict memorization than learning the rules behind what I was memorizing. I quickly realized I needed to find a program that had more stucture and formal instruction. This was exactly what I found at LW. Meeting twice a week in a group class gave me the repetition and interactive practice I needed. I progressed much faster than when I was taking private lessons. Moreover, Sandrine uses grammar very effectively when she teaches French. This has made it possible for me to recognize forms when I see or hear them, so that even if I don't know the specific words, I can immediately place them in a context I understand. And as a student of literature who was never taught English grammar, the classes have actually helped me understand the formal rules of my native tongue, too. Above all, the most important appeal of LW is that you know you are in the company of people who want to be there and want to learn the language. Everyone I've met has had a different reason for taking French classes, but they all have the same personal investment in learning, which makes the experience both very fun and very productive. I would recommend this program to anyone who has considered learning French - whatever their reasons are." Emma Reynolds, writer
"Nicole, my German teacher was a fantastic teacher. I learned so much from the personal interaction I received in our classes. Langua World is a great place to go for fast, easy, attentive learning!" Liz Baylog
"I
am happy to provide feedback for you on the Italian classes I have been
attending. Having taken classes at three different language schools in
Manhattan, one in Rome, and having had a private tutor, I can say with
confidence that these classes I am now enrolled in are among the best
I have ever attended, at least for the style of learning which works best
for me. The fact that I am privileged enough to have one-on-one instruction
of course factors into the equation, but the main reason I am so pleased
with your school is my instructor. He exhibited proficiency in not only
determining what my goals in studying Italian were, but was also able
to quickly understand my learning style and adapt his instruction methods
to it. The former can be easily understood with a few questions, but the
latter requires understanding and assessment through careful observation
of very subjective cues. I feel that by our second meeting, my instructor
had shown great flexibility in re-directing his teaching style to match
my abilities and learning preferences, whilst maintaining the integrity
and content of the course. In short, I can quite emphatically say that
I am more than pleased with my experience thus far, and look forward to
the remainder of the class. Many thanks," -Christine Mancini, CEO
"Avishan has a unique ability to make the
Farsi language come alive for her students. As a beginner student of Farsi,
I was able to absorb a lot of material during the classes. Both myself
and my classmate, Sumeet, agreed that Avishan is a phenomenal teacher
and we were challenged beyond the scope of what a beginner language course
usually entails. We were given a lot of vocabulary, writing and speaking
exercises and Avishan complemented these exercises with dialogue practice
and films. She is patient, encouraging and inspiring. I hope to continue
to study with Avishan in the spring and look forward to the next Farsi
group classes." -Shannon McCormick
"I am from the UK and my Spanish is very basic
picked up purely from local people in Latin America. I have not studied
Spanish formally before. The format of the lessons was of my own choosing.
I settled into a conversational style of lessons and simply practised
what I had learnt with Wally correcting me as I went. He is familiar with
colloquial Spanish from around the Latin American region. Wally initially
recommended a book (Spanish for Americans) which is quite a good book.
Having said that I think that I benefited from the lessons and started
to get into the flow of conversational Spanish, taking lots of notes and
being prompted by Wally when I made mistakes. Wally seemed quite happy
with this approach and I quite enjoyed our sessions. Best regards."

"I took Bulgarian classes at Langua World. I was an absolute beginner, and my teacher, Milena, was excellent. She was very well prepared with each lesson, and it seems she must have spent almost as much time preparing, as the length of the lesson itself. She was very helpful, and made difficult concepts easy. after 10 lessons I can now communicate with simple sentences, and short paragraphs." -Ted Snyder, Analyst
"I really enjoyed the class and am surprised at how much I have retained with almost no studying. I am now able to talk relatively well with the people I work with in France. I also find that I am able to read memos and listen to presentations in Spanish and understand about 75% of what is being said. The class was excellent!". -Linda Bonvivant, Manager
"Both the quality of the Spanish courses and the teacher were excellent. The techniques used in the class accelerated learning and the teacher was most encouraging. I rate both course and teacher A+ !" -Frederic Ashtow, Student
"I thoroughly enjoyed the course - the teaching aids, the book, the room and the other students. I was an entire beginner in Italian, but you have so many ways to make it all, at last, seem easy." -Sylvia Taicher, Realtor
"I tried other courses before, but this is the best method I have
ever experienced. The combination of a good method and a top quality,
very professional teacher make an unbeatable combination. I have learned
more French in those few weeks than I thought possible." -Benjamin

"I
was very pleased with the quality of Pepo's teaching; I was fortunate
to have already owned the textbook we used, but she brought many of her
own materials and supplemented well with additional learning aides, such
as songs (written), handwriting/alphabet books and children's reading
books. These were very helpful in getting me started on reading, which
is probably the most difficult aspect of Thai. She was also very patient
and gave me interesting homework assignments, which I enjoyed completing.
Overall my classes were very productive and the homework helped a lot.
I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Thai."

"The Bulgarian class was great. Ana is a marvelous teacher, kind,
considerate, and caring. She prepared lessons that fit my level of ability,
was warm, and encouraging." -Sheryl Sharawitz, Director
"Avishan, my Farsi teacher is amazing and well-prepared,I really
enjoy learning with her. I would recommend this class (structure, price,
material) without a doubt! All best." Shannon Mc Cormick, Analyst
