Educational Approach
Our standard program teaches English, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese, with the goal of achieving fluency in all three languages, which allows for communication with 90% of the world! Many people believe learning a second language is harder as an adult, when really it just requires a different approach with more opportunities for practicing and modeling what is being learned.
We begin by teaching linguistics so students understand how syllabic languages are structured, which makes it easier to learn the languages. You'll learn how these languages sound and how to convincely speak in the main dialect. We also integrate an understanding of culture and histories of words.
This program is offered remotely to students 15+ worldwide, and takes 1.5 to 3 years to complete. We typically schedule two hour-long classes per student each week, with 30 minutes spent on Spanish and 30 minutes on Mandarin Chinese in each class, for students with an English base. We teach each student using an individualized approach suited to how you learn and what you already know.
