I think Berlitz flex program is a great… I think Berlitz flex program is a great course to take. I've been taking German for 5 months and haven't had one bad instructor, Maybe I'm lucky but it's about taking your self tought courses and applying it to speaking live. If you're looking for a flashy and fun interface this isn't it but apply yourself and you will improve here. This program DOES have the material needed. It takes discipline and repotition outside of your online courses as well.

The 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.

Potential Teachers are Being Trained Poorly The hiring team is nice, but then the teacher training is awful. Long, rigid, authoritarian, unpaid and packed with tests and also many demo lessons online in front of trainers and other students where they keep telling you over and over that you may fail and have to redo some other day if you deviate from the exact way they want you to teach.

I 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!

Regret 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.
