Sprint Program & Smart Private
Upgrade your language skills fast with private, face-to-face lessons and online study
Nothing is more stressful than working in a second language; doubting if your language skills are good enough to communicate while constantly worrying if you’re being understood.
Whether you’re an expat struggling at work, a professional seeking to develop your career, or a business owner looking to expand internationally––you face the same problems because of your mediocre language skills.
You have trouble expressing your thoughts and ideas to your co-workers causing you stress and anxiety
You don’t fully understand what’s being said at meetings causing uncertainty about your job role and tasks
You are fearful of making mistakes in front of your colleagues so you stay silent; hiding your true worth
You lack the confidence to engage in conversation, so you feel left out and isolated from your co-workers
If you’re experiencing these problems, it means that you’re not proving your true value to your employer, so you are probably being overlooked for career development opportunities, increased salary or promotion.
If this sounds like you, our Sprint Program & Smart Private language courses are perfect to improve your foreign language communication skills, boost your confidence and unlock new career opportunities.
Tailored to your personal and professional needs
Gain more confidence speaking and improve your language proficiency with one-to-one lessons with your own private language trainer. Benefit from a personalised language program––tailored to your personal or professional circumstances––with a structure designed to accelerate your language skills quickly.
Our experienced language trainers will choose course content that align with your individual learning goals––as stated by you––at the start of the course. This assures you will learn in situations that reflect your real-world experiences, so you can immediately practise your new-found language skills in real-life scenarios.
Learn faster by combining face-to-face lessons with self-study online
Our award-winning e-learning platform––CyberTeachers––will guide you through your first steps to give you a solid foundation. This combined with your one-to-one lessons guarantees the content you will learn will be directly related to your specific situation––meaning you will make relevant and significant progress fast that you can immediately apply in the real world.
Immerse yourself in your target language with the Berlitz Method®
At the core of the Berlitz Method® is total immersion in the target language with a laser-focus on speaking and conversational skills; not the usual boring grammar and tedious written exercises like with many other language courses.
Our unique approach means you will immediately learn to think and speak in your target language. After only a few lessons, your confidence in speaking will increase and you will be able to communicate your thoughts to your co-workers and clients clearly and effectively––banishing the previous inhibitions and fears that were holding you back.

What have our previous students said?
We often hear from delighted past students who tell us of their enhanced communication skills, increased confidence and improved comprehension skills since learning a new language using the Berlitz Method®.
I like the Berlitz method. We spend much of the time speaking. I can really see the difference with a previous course I took, where we mainly focused on grammar. The interaction with other participants and with the teacher was very well balanced. Liam Janssens, French course ★★★★★ | My teacher was excellent. She had a lot of patience with us and took time to correct our mistakes individually. I always struggled with the "er", and during her lessons I really learned to use it correctly. You need very good teachers to advance after you learned the basics. Julien Lambert, Dutch Course ★★★★★ |
