GBI had one on one private lessons I had one on one private lessons. They were ok. I asked for more on demand conversation/ spontaneous conversation but I read 80% of the time. It wasn't very flexible or easy to make or change appointments. It took me two weeks to get started after I had paid. Also the instructor occasionally took a brief pause during our session to answer the phone or assist the other people in his home. So a bit disruptive. Things I did like- talking to a native speaker and improving my accent and speech!

GBin general I am very pleased with Berlitz. The continued difficulty for both me and my instructor Alma to join the lesson is very frustrating for both of us. We are resorting to Skyp in general I am very pleased with Berlitz, especially my instructors. I am bothered, though, by the audio portion of the lessons. One of my instructors (I can't remember which one) agreed that the audio is much too fast for a student/learner to follow. She said that even she had trouble keeping up with them. Please have the imaginary speakers in the audo portions slow down! i appreciate Berlitz's willingness to design a curriculum more in line with what I am interested in learning about. Special kudos to Nancy Sorial, Melissa Kovacevic and the rest of the team that handles my account!

GBBarely this school needs any additional… Barely this school needs any additional recommendation. It's just one of the best language centers. As a language geek I've been using their interactive courses and books since young age, and I recommend their online/offline classes to everybody who is learning a foreign language, either as a fun hobby or for job. I've studied German, Chinese, and considering to dive into French someday.
Satisfied client.
GBThe cyber program is very glitchy The cyber program is very glitchy. I only received 1 of my post-live lesson reviews, and the others I guess are floating around somewhere? Not in spam or junk. The drag and drop feature, required for some of my program lessons stopped working. I reported it and no one responded to my complaint. Teachers are pleasant, but it's hard when you are a beginner and the instructor does not speak your native language, so you can't answer questions.

GBRegret the Purchase Honestly, I hate the program. I paid too much for what I am getting. It is very business-centric. It does not do a great job of teaching or reinforcing learning. There is a short intro, but again, very business-centric (not generally applicable for other purposes) I would NOT RECOMMEND.
