    I have taken Spanish classes here for about 4 months. Lincoln, the owner of the institute, is my…read moreSpanish teacher. 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!

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!

I consider that kindness and respect are two very important aspects of life and specially in this matter. It can make a huge difference. So when it comes to my education, I have always liked to be surrounded of people who can show a true and genuine interest on maintaining these two important characteristics: kindness and respect. TALK has blown me away! Because they not only have these two characteristics, they go beyond! The staff is truly authentic!They always have a huge smile for you. They would always try to help you by either answering even the smallest questions or helping you with other important stuff. You get the felling that are among friends or family. Allison is a wonderful director, she is the kind of person who has a amazing attitude towards students. She is kind, funny, reachable and very respectful. Ally is very sweet, prompt and attentive. I don't know how they do but they always seem to be happy! And when you come at school early in the morning that energy sticks with you! The teachers have a great style in teaching English. They would encourage you to participate, work hard, try your best, correct you, make you speak and show a big concern for you to improve. All teachers are very nice and well prepared! My experience had been nothing but just amazing! I also like the fact that the location of the school is beautiful. You have the best of Atlanta just next to you! I just love it!

    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.

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.

Even though I took 4 years of French in high school and 2 in college; I still opted to start with their beginner class in order to refresh my brain on the language. I love the teaching/learning method the Alliance uses; its a completely different approach than high school or college based classes. My instructor, Ghislaine, is wonderful and you can tell she really cares about the success of her students. Learning a new language at the age of 30 certainly isnt easy, but Ghislaine and the French Alliance are making it a lovely experience and more importantly: a lot of fun. I am looking forward to continuing to take courses at the Alliance Francaise d'Atlanta for many semesters to come.

    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.

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!

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.
