I am currently studying with Berlitz and have been for over two year. I wish I wasn't, but they somehow have a training provision contract with the multinational company I work for. Every lesson is a torture and I leave heavily depressed. This hasn't improved in over two years. My best description of the Berlitz method is as follows. 1. Someone you've never met speaks at you in a language you don't understand 2. In a language you dont understand, they ask you a question you can't possibly know the answer to. 3. You guess 4. You are wrong. 5. ???? 6. Apparently you have now learned the language The language I'm studying has very unintuitive grammar. The Berlotz method is just to read a textbook in that language and talk at you in that language and expect that you'll somehow learn. It doesn't work. Send your staff to a better school.

My grandson enjoyed his lessons and is now reaping the benefit as he begins a second year of high school French. He feels very much on top of his lessons and is motivated to continue to be so. He told me he plans to study French all four years instead of the requirement of only two. I think he is interested in doing so because of the progress he made one on one with his Berlitz French teacher. The teacher was also flexible in adapting her time schedule if conflicts arose with the set lesson time. All in all it was a very positive experience.

Meine Tochter war in Goch auf dem englisch Reiter Camp und war sehr zufrieden essen war gut Betreuung sehr gut

Dear MyBerlitz Academy, I've been a member for three years, and my journey has been transformative. My speaking confidence has grown immensely, and the personalized support from the instructors has been invaluable. Thank you for helping me overcome my fears and achieve my language goals. I'm truly grateful for this experience.

Meine Tochter war vom 28.7.-1.8. auf einem Sprachcamp / Segelschiff ab Kiel und hat dort sehr schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht. Das Essen war sehr einseitig, es gab für die Kinder fast ausschließlich Aufbackbrötchen und auch die nicht in wirklich ausreichender Menge. Selbst wenn man stilles Wasser trinken wollte, musste man vorher fragen und wurde ansonsten ermahnt. Die in der Beschreibung genannten Leistungen - wie Freizeitbeschäftigungen, Willkommensgeschenk, etc. wurden nicht erfüllt. Aktionen auf Englisch (abgesehen von selbst initiierten Kartenspielen der Kinder) oder gar Vermitteln von Englisch fand praktisch überhaupt nicht statt. Die Campleitung hat sich nicht gekümmert sondern häufig an Deck separiert und den Eindruck vermittelt, dass die Kinder eigentlich stören. Meiner Tochter und andere Teilnehmer*innen wurde häufig wegen gefühlten Nichtigkeiten gedroht, das Schiff am nächsten Hafen verlassen zu müssen. Schade, an sich eine schöne Idee, eine Segelreise auf Englisch zu machen, meine Tochter hatte sich lange darauf gefreut. Aber die Umsetzung hat leider überhaupt nicht funktioniert.

Recomiendo las clases en línea, son iguales que la presenciales, con profesores en vivo pero en línea y me gusta porque hablo todo el tiempo y somos poquitos en el grupo. Ya voy por mi segundo nivel así.

Loved my in-person experience with Berlitz in Miami in 2017-2019 (for French and Spanish). Had the total opposite experience with Berlitz virtual classes in Washington DC in 2025 (for Italian) and would no longer recommend the company. I dealt with multiple different employees to set up my lessons, which seemed extremely inefficient, rather than a single POC. Unbeknownst to me, but known to Bertitz, my first instructor had maternity leave planned just four lessons into my 8-lesson program. My second instructor rescheduled or canceled each of the following 4 lessons with no notice, finally quitting Berlitz altogether with no notice. My third instructor, for the 2 final lessons, was fantastic but was only teaching as a “favor” to the company and planned to emigrate as soon as my program ended. This was incredibly frustrating given I was trying to prepare for an exam and was self-funded. Elona Mene, my final POC with Berlitz displayed absolutely zero empathy and took no ownership of the situation, concluding her email to me with “I guess life happens.”

I really enjoy the flexible scheduling and the interactive lessons with the possibility to stay with one single teacher or to experience different teachers and methods and accents
