Lincoln can speak a bunch of different languages and makes the class really fun and easy to learn. He teaches with strict grammar, so he's ensuring that we are learning properly. I learn best with hands-on methods, so in-person classes work best for me. The classes at AIL are in-person, with the option to join virtually, if necessary. The class materials can all be found in the ortal, which has proven to be a very helpful resource. I absolutely recommend Atlanta Language Institute if you learn well in-person. They offer many languages, too!

I'm currently enrolled in my 2nd course of Portuguese at AIL. As an educator, I'm impressed and…read morehappy with the relaxed yet structured classes. Each student is challenged to their own ability level, but in a way that is beneficial for the entire class. They take a practical approach to teaching + learning where all the prompts, responses, and casual conversations that are naturally spoken throughout the class, are both typed and recorded so we're able to listen and/or watch the videos to review, as well as print or save the .pdf of notes. This genuine environment has created classes of students that are dedicated to learning and supporting one another and have a lot of fun in doing so! I encourage you to contact them and try out a class since you're reading this review!

The Language Island has been a big help to me. I have always wanted to improve my Spanish since my…read moregirlfriend is Hispanic and since it is the second most spoken language in the world. I found this school online and I contacted the director to know more about the services they provided. Since the first conversation we had on the phone, he was very friendly and helpful. He never seemed to promise me anything fake to market himself or the school, and I never felt pushed to "close the deal". He asked me a bunch of questions regarding when, where, and the time of the day I wanted to study and he ended up making sure I got all my preferences. On my first day of classes everyone I met at the school was smiling and the staff already knew my name, which made me feel extremely welcome. My teacher was always very knowledgeable and she clearly had lots of experience teaching. The classes felt "easy to follow" and I thought they were productive. Lastly, the school location was convenient and the prices were fair. Overall, I would say I had a great experience as a student at The Language Island!

From the owner: The Language Island began with a simple mission: Provide students with the best language-learning…read moreexperience possible. This mission has guided us as we have expanded from humble beginnings to become the premiere language-tutoring service in the Metro Atlanta area. Language Island instructors are an elite group of highly-educated and experienced teachers and tutors who are truly passionate about their students. Unlike tutoring centers that take a one-size-fits-all approach to language instruction, The Language Island recognizes that every student is unique. Teachers assess each student on a case-by-case basis and develop a curriculum that is custom-tailored to his or her individual needs. We provide a variety of class options designed to accommodate students of all ages and backgrounds. These include small group and one-on-one classes on our campus near Cumberland Mall, as well as private, in-home tutoring all over the city. Our tutors recognize that students have many commitments outside The Language Island. They work with students to develop class schedules that fit around their busy lives.

Ahsan is fantastic and I highly recommend working with him if you'd like to learn Spanish or…read moreGerman. The graded reader method works well for high absorption and retention, since it's all about recognition through reading. We read short stories (each about 50 pages in length), that focus on the repetition of an increasing number of words, depending on the level or grade of the book. For example: level one books have about 400 words, level 3 has 1,000 words, level 5 books have about 2,000 words. This method helps you learn these words through repetition. I am taking my third Spanish session with him and I've learned so much- I am now recognizing more vocabulary when I see it elsewhere. He teaches small classes (up to 6 people) and also offers private sessions in person or virtually. He is very flexible with scheduling, so if you are considering learning Spanish, give him a call. Conveniently located off I-285 in Sandy Springs. Ample free parking.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the classes at the language institute of Georgia. I had taken Spanish as…read morea teenager in high school... but it has been 30 years since then! This was the perfect way to reacquaint myself to the language and an even better way to become proficient. The style of teaching is different than any I've ever experienced, where memorization was the main methteaching vehicle. The graded readers immerse you immediately into the language and as you read, you begin to naturally integrate vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure. I recently visited Mexico and was so pleased, and surprised, at how much I could understand -once I asked people to slow down. Mas despacio, por favor. Bottom line: this method works and the more you read, quite simply, the better you become.

I had been studying Italian for 4 months on Duolingo but Laura laid out the basic building blocks in the level 1 sessions (5 weeks-5 classes) & I learned so much more in 3 weeks than I had in 4 mos on my own. She organizes the basics in an amazingly clear and accessible way. I highly highly highly recommend Laura's Italian instruction. It is fun and you learn a lot.

I am so glad I found them when I did and that I was able to give my children just wonderful preschool years with such beautiful and amazing teachers.

We can't say enough positive things about this school. Our son started by going to the summer camp…read moreand then attending regular school days. The school is very interactive and has tons of events for parents and students to be involved. The director is very on top of everything and always accessible which is a plus in our book. Bonus our son has started using Spanish at home and around others which is impressive. The teachers by far are the best though we cannot say enough about how kind and patient they are and have been with our son. We highly recommend this plan to anyone who is looking to broaden their child's horizons.

I will start off by saying that while I had read the previous reviews, I decided to go with this…read moreschool. The communication between the director and I was positive and she was very responsive to questions, et al. I was trying to do something very difficult: take Arabic immersion - 8 hours per day - for 5 days straight. We all knew it would be a tall order. But I was motivated. I showed up on the first day and everyone was there (the director, Amber, and the instructor). They had materials ready for me and a place to learn. My instructor was from Syria and was very professional. After about 6 hours, my brain was leaking out of my ears. And that's how the rest of the week went. My instructor was very patient and adjusted her teaching content based on my needs. I went in with zero proficiency and my goal was to score on the charts for a federal language proficiency test. Again - we all knew it was a tall order. The test consists of listening and reading. As a result of the class, I was able to score what I needed on the exam. For the people who bash the school - I would say to remember that you are dealing with humans and they make mistakes. Flexibility in learning languages extends to flexibility with the instructors. I understand frustrations - but it's all what you put into the system. I found Amber and the others who work there to be up front with customers. And believe me - they aren't in the job for the money. Overall I was very happy with the level of instruction I received. I would definitely use their devices again.
