Kathy Z.

Parent of Emily, a LanguageBird Learner

“My daughter Emily studied Mandarin Chinese with LanguageBird. Several times a week, she participated in live lessons with native speakers based in China. Emily studied Mandarin in middle school, but she learned language nuances along with fluency that would not otherwise have been possible without traveling to the country. Each week, she looked forward to her Language Bird sessions. They were the highlight of her experience with virtual school, and you can see her love for learning Mandarin reflected in the graphic novel she created as her final class project.”

Crystal R.

Parent of Ryder, a LanguageBird Learner

“I am so thrilled with our decision to enroll my high school student in a LanguageBird Spanish 4 course, to complement his heavy courseload. Our teacher was able to work with my son’s unconventional schedule, fitting class time on a weekend evening. He leaves this year with a great understanding of conversational Spanish. Additionally, this 4th year of language made him a highly competitive college applicant and we see the rewards as his acceptances roll in. Our experience has been excellent from top to bottom!”

Olivia M.

LANGUAGEBIRD STUDENT, FRENCH

“I do online school because I am a competitive equestrian. I love my online classes, but the one I struggled with was French. When I joined LanguageBird, I could not speak without writing first, but I saw improvement even after a couple lessons. I enjoy the one-on-one communication, as well as it being personal. I would recommend LanguageBird to anyone who wants to learn a new language!”

Sabrina T.

LANGUAGEBIRD STUDENT, ITALIAN

“LanguageBird’s one-on-one program has truly transformed my attitude towards learning a language by allowing me to work on my listening and speaking further. In addition, my instructor was super attentive to my interests and very kind. I highly recommend LanguageBird to students who find that public courses are not their flow.”

Grant E.

LANGUAGEBIRD STUDENT, FRENCH

“I enjoyed my LanguageBird program very much! I was in a French class at my high school for a semester, but I wasn’t learning much. Then I came to LanguageBird and learned so much more about the French language. My teacher was really helpful and taught me about the culture, how to speak better, and a lot more. I’m very excited to be back next year!!!”

Meredith L.

Parent of Elizabeth, a LanguageBird Learner

“My daughter took her first 2 years of Spanish through her high school and struggled. LanguageBird was recommended for its individualized instruction plans and flexible schedule. Her instructor met her where she was and helped develop both her writing and conversational skills. She ended up enjoying her Spanish classes, and her confidence in language learning shot up. Thank you!!”

LANGUAGEBIRD STUDENT, FRENCH

“I really enjoyed the LanguageBird program. My teacher was very kind, motivating, and helpful, and I really enjoyed our classes! I think my pronunciation, speaking, and overall understanding of the language improved greatly. My attitude toward learning a new language is more positive, and I feel confident and excited to learn and improve more.”

Luisa I.

LANGUAGEBIRD STUDENT, ITALIAN

“I loved my Italian course and instructor so much! I learned how to have a conversation, write paragraphs, and understand videos in Italian with only 3 months of learning. My instructor was kind and funny and always tailored the lessons perfectly to my learning style. The one-on-one format made the classes more engaging and helped me to learn Italian faster. I would absolutely recommend LanguageBird and my instructor!”

Leo M.

LANGUAGEBIRD STUDENT, SPANISH

“The past year and a half of my LanguageBird program has been a very enjoyable experience. I have learned so much from my teacher, and I owe my progress to the time I spend with her every week. In comparison with other language classes I’ve taken, LanguageBird gives me the opportunity to hone my speaking and conversational skills, something that is impossible to achieve with a traditional online course. I have noticed a significant shift from learning arbitrary vocabulary to learning the core skills involved in speaking Spanish. LanguageBird also provides a lot of flexibility in booking classes. This has proven very helpful as I can choose the time that works best with my very busy schedule.”

Soraya S.

LANGUAGEBIRD STUDENT, Korean

“Learning the Korean language is something that is very emotional for me. It is the language of my heritage and ancestors, but my mother’s upbringing meant that she could not teach it to me. My instructor, has done an excellent job at teaching me what my family could not pass down. I think that the biggest flaw with many language classes is the focus on memorization, but my instructor did not force me to memorize all of the unnecessary words. Rather, she focused on my ability to remember syntax, conjugation and key terms like subject words and common verbs. She also noticed that I would sometimes get stressed or upset when I made mistakes, and so she would often take time before activities to reassure me and make me feel comfortable. The classes I took were difficult, but properly tuned for my capability, and helped me feel more confident in my skills.”
