FAQ’s

How long will it take to become fluent?

Becoming fluent in a language takes a long time. We will guide you to get to your desired level of proficiency. More than anything you need extended exposure to the language and meaningful interaction with native speakers. How quickly you learn a language depends largely on the amount of time you hear/see the language outside of class. You can expect to start to have basic exchanges in the target language after your first session with us, and you can expect to be conversational (about basic, concrete topics) after your first 10 sessions.

What is the refund policy?

We ask that each of our students make a commitment to completing each 10-week session. Our group classes are very small, affordable, and interactive, and for that reason we DO NOT provide refunds after the class starts. If you register for a class and find that you need to cancel, you may do so up to 24 hours before the class begins. You will be refunded all but a $50 registration fee.

What is the structure of a private class and what book is used?

Private classes are structured around your schedule and learning goals. Private classes are minimum 1 hour per session, but you can meet for longer each time, and you can meet as often as you’d like per week. The more frequently you practice the better you’ll become! Depending on your level and learning style, we recommend books/vidoes that match your needs. And remember, our private classes can be shared with a friend for only a few extra bucks!
