Online Classes

In a world hungry for new language skills, and increasing broadband Internet access and VOIP adoption, our mission is to provide a more accessible, affordable, and engaging way to learn a language. Our online learning option allows people around the world to help each other with language learning, and provides our community with opportunities to learn and practice new languages together.  

With unsurpassed educational publishing expertise, our partners provide online coursework with world-class language learning content. Collins is the leading brand for bilingual dictionaries in the UK and Europe and known throughout the world for its innovative language learning materials.

Here's How It Works

We offer a unique combination of online language learning and practice with native speakers that you cannot get with CD-ROMs or other methods of study. You get the skills you need at a price you can afford. 

Reciprocal Learning

The best instruction begins when people teach and learn from each other. Learning becomes more interesting when friendly people from different parts of the world offer their help and perspective. Our online courses have native speakers eager to help and learn from each other—and that's what makes them so addictive and effective. Plus, you get to contribute your own knowledge to help others—and that feels great. When you enter the community, it's like traveling around the world, but without the cost.

Motivation

When you learn with real people, helping one another creates the motivation you need to improve. Our courses also encourage you by providing unlimited practice opportunities and helpful reminders to maintain your progress. You can study at your own pace, repeat lessons as you wish, and access more languages, learning partners, and cultural tips than you could never get from a CD-ROM or text book.

Conversational Focus

If you are looking to translate a 1,000 page dissertation or write text in an ancient language, then our courses are not for you. But, if you are looking to gain practical, real-life language skills, online classes are your ticket.  Courses are focused on building practical conversation skills—every lesson includes speaking and writing exercises that are reviewed by native speakers, helping you build the confidence you need to speak a new language.
