What's the best way to learn a language online?

Thinking of learning a foreign language for career advancement, relocation, self-improvement or just for fun, but can’t quite seem to get started? Finding the time to learn around a busy schedule or even allocating enough time to attend classes in person can be a challenge.

Online language courses can be a great option if you’re learning a language with a small amount of spare time, aren’t able to travel to classes or just prefer learning online.

Learning a language online with Berlitz

Here at Berlitz, we help make learning a foreign language achievable and fast, by offering two online learning options:

1. Online classes with an instructor

• Lessons are delivered via video call with an instructor - either on your own or with a small group of people who also join the call. This option mimics a physical classroom setting, all in the comfort of your chosen location. You can get immediate feedback and can track your progress in real-time.
• This option is available in over 40 languages and incorporates online activities to help you progress.
• You will also be given access to our student portal, that tracks improvements in real time and lets you know when your goals are achieved. The content on the student portal is available in various formats for easy use on and offline.

2. Self-study

• Self-study lessons are undertaken anytime, anywhere for your convenience. Your learning is done via interactive videos (instead of with an instructor), online activities and our speech recognition technology to help you with pronunciation.
• To add more practice time and make sure you’re on track, our online self study option allows you to book a lesson with an instructor. Instructors are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
• These programs can also be personalized and content is tailored to match your objectives.
• Self-study is great if you are wanting to learn independently, at your own pace, in your own time. Find out more about self-study.
