What our learners say
I enrolled in a Russian course at Berlitz. It's my first experience with the Berlitz method and I'm really impressed because the learning is based on a conversation with a native-fluent speaker, from the first lesson you listen and speak only Russian. You learn the language naturally, just like we learned our mother tongue as children. The teacher uses a lot of fun tools, from picture books to didactic games. No grammar and no long lectures. I then reinforce the material at home with the help of a Berlitz textbook. It really works. I have been speaking the target language since the very first class.
