How it works

Three steps from “um…” to fluent.

No textbook marathons. You learn by speaking from the first evening — our method mixes task-based lessons, real-world homework and fortnightly progress check-ins.

    Test your level

    Twelve quick questions place you on the CEFR scale. Takes about 12 minutes.

  2. 02

    Pick a group

    Evening, lunchtime, weekend or online — every course runs in 8–12 week blocks.

  3. 03

    Speak from day one

    80% talking time, a personal study plan and a certificate at the end of each level.

Student stories

They came for grammar. They stayed for the people.

“I moved for work with zero German. Six weeks later I opened a bank account without switching to English.”

— Priya, German A1 → A2

“The Wednesday café is the highlight of my week. My French went from stiff to silly in the best way.”

— Tom, French B1

“Kenji's kana method is magic. I read my first menu in Osaka and cried a little.”

— Sanne, Japanese A1
