  • Flexible: the courses adept to a wide variety of situations and are available in multiple formats. We aim to cater to individual learner needs.
  • Practical: every lesson practices real-life situations in business, professional or general contexts.

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).

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.

The price of a course depends on its type and on the number of classes booked. We have put together our program selections with the intent to offer solutions for all budgets.
