in 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!

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.

Truly a bad experience with Berlitz… Truly a bad experience with Berlitz Flex. Video courses are repetitive and terminally slow, with not enough focus on grammar or actual conversation. The amount of time they give for you to cancel is not sufficient as a new learner- only a few days. By the time you realize how utterly useless and glitchy the program is, they have you locked into a contract that they will not release you from. Avoid at all costs.

Your customer support team is really hard to reach Your customer support team is really hard to reach. Whenever I ask questions, I never receive a proper response and sometimes it takes days to call back. You should be more transparent about your service and what you are able to provide for the client. This program is very expensive and I did not get my money's worth. I honestly would not recommend Berlitz to other people, you can try other language programs for half the cost and better attention to the customer.

600-hour Spanish Course I took 600 hours of Spanish instruction through Berlitz with Alma Munoz. The class was extremely helpful and I feel much better prepared to travel and live in a foreign country. She made learning the language fun and found creative ways to keep me engaged for 600 hours! By the end of the course I exceeded the score required by my employer. She was patient and has a unique ability to explain even difficult concepts. I would absolutely recommend the Berlitz program based on my experience with Alma.
