We offer a wide range of different language courses, allowing our learners to communicate confidently in the language of their choice and to become independent language learners. Our courses develop learners' four linguist skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. These skills can be applied to all the different languages we offer. In addition, learners are encouraged to develop an understanding of the different cultures of the language they are learning.
Learning a language has many benefits including: improved memory, increased creative thinking, development of self-pride, creating relationships with other adult learners, and many more. Our learners have reported that upon completing a course, they now felt self-assured to communicate in their chosen language; this has helped learners who travel or are relocating to another country to live.

“All the classes have been well prepared and targeted to our individual needs. There has been a variety of activities to promote interaction in the class. Maria (their tutor) is a person who is full of enthusiasm and energy, and she is always encouraging and positive.”
