We've worked our language learning magic on everyone from international companies, executives, journalists, retirees, stay-at-home parents, and GCSE students.

“I enjoyed every day of my 10 day intensive Italian course. After 4 days of learning I went out with an Italian friend of mine and we had more than a passable interaction in Italian in a busy social environment. After the full ten days i was driving with the same friend and we were discussing the philosophies of Aristotle. That is not a joke. “
— Michael Davies, chef, 10 day Italian course, 2013
I have been very impressed by the patience shown by my three teachers. All have helped me enormously and have been a complete pleasure to work with. I shall miss them all! I enjoyed it hugely.
— Joe Kidson, 5 day French course, 2014

Excellent, hands on, clear and going at my own pace, so I wasn’t overwhelmed. A good structure, and I really enjoyed it.
— Kate Martin, 5 day Spanish course, 2015
The teaching was first class: imaginative, engaged, personalised, humorous, fun and very clear.
— Peter Cleland, 5 day Spanish course, 2015

Time out review

TIME OUT JOURNALIST LORNA JOINED US TO SEE IF THE INTENSIVE LEARNING METHOD REALLY DOES WORK. (SPOILER: IT DOES).

A couple of years ago, I decided to get cable tv on the basis that I could improve my languages by watching foreign channels. Instead, I got hooked on 'Seinfeld' and CNN and my German remained as rusty as ever.  Read more...


I understand the language construction, grammar etc. It’s all starting to come together now! The teaching has been excellent. Both Aristide and Pauline were very professional, nice and clearly understand language teaching very well. They are able to adapt the style of their teaching to suit the student. I have already recommended it to my friend and my colleagues. The concept is great and the teachers are excellent. I cannot improve upon my experience.

“Your team of French teachers is fantastic, very talented and patient, and their different styles served to break up a quite intense experience and make it tremendously enjoyable.”
— John Torrie, CEO Steria, 10 day French course, 2012 & 2014

EVENING STANDARD JOURNALIST SARAH RICHARDSON JOINED US FOR AN INTENSIVE COURSE.

Perhaps you have been given two weeks' notice that you are relocating to Germany. Perhaps you are giving a presentation in Milan next Wednesday and you need an Italian refresher course and more specialist vocabulary. For you, leisurely conversation classes over the next three months are not an option. Read more...


“My sincere thanks to your team for the exceptional 10-day French immersion course that I have recently completed. I started the course with absolute zero knowledge of the language and I have been delighted with the progress that we made over the ten days. “
— Tom Brinded
