I have now taken 3 semesters of in-person Spanish classes with Tennessee Language center. The classes are all well planned and thought out. The professor is wonderful, very knowledgeable, and makes learning fun. Another great aspect is all three semesters have been the same students. So you get to know everyone very well and become friends. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn another language and have fun while doing it. read more

Tennessee Language Center did an excellent job preparing me to teach English as a Second Language. I had already taught ESL for 5 years as a volunteer and loved helping immigrants and refugees. However, I knew I needed something more to improve my skills. The in person classes taught me how to create lesson plans that were interesting and engaging. Word games, pictures, and roleplaying, in addition to structure, made learning a joy for students and teacher. Also, being certified as an ESL teacher opened the door for employment to nonprofits including TLC. I'm grateful for the numerous students from all over the globe they have brought to me. The satisfaction of equipping them to not only survive, but thrive Is extremely rewarding. Sharon read more

Really easy to deal with. My girlfriend had her consultation, took the test, and was in immersive English classes the next day. Pretty easy process and not overly expensive for live classes. I'd recommend them, for sure. read more

I've been taking Spanish classes at TFLI for several semesters now. My professor is Maya - and she's great. Classes are fun and interactive and challenging. My fellow classmates are great - interesting, curious, and very friendly. The location is pretty central (north of Germantown off of Rosa Parks). They offer classes throughout the week and at various times, so that you can find the class that works for you! (They also offer classes in several languages and at varying levels of skill!) I really look forward to my class every week, and it's really be a wonderful experience. When I work my way through the last Spanish class, I'll likely pick another language and keep on taking classes at this wonderful language institute! Highly recommended for anyone that has wanted to take up foreign language classes but hasn't found the right place! Great experience! read more

I discovered the TFLI when I was finishing up my teaching certification and needed to observe a foreign language class. I sat in on a Spanish class. I was so impressed that when I finished my certification, I signed up for a beginning French class. I signed up online. The class was $300 with an early bird, new student discount. I also bought the textbook but I don't remember how much that was. This $300 paid for 12 classes. I opted to take my class on Thursday evenings but I could have signed up for a Saturday morning class. TFLI offers group classes in the winter/spring, fall, and summer. I was really impressed with my class. My class had six students. This was small enough that I got a lot of one on one help. My classmates were working professionals who wanted to learn French. My teacher had gone to college in Nashville where she studied French and had lived in France on a study abroad. She had also studied education in college. Being certified to teach a foreign language I can attest that my instructor used the most current methodology. She stayed in the target language for the entire class and we always understood her. Based on my observation in the Spanish class, I assume that these practices are used in every TFLI class. If you are thinking about learning a new language I would definitely recommend the TFLI. The classes are a little expensive but the instruction is worth every penny! read more

I love TFLI and its language offerings. Wonderful, skilled instructors with native or near native fluency have created a learning environment where languages are possible and fun to learn. I have been taking German classes for the past several semesters and recently took up Italian. I highly recommend TFLI. read more
