Listen & Learn

Listen and Learn provides expert language training for busy individuals who require a language course for work, travel, study or family needs. Courses are usually taught one-to-one or in small groups and are targetted at the needs of the learner in a way that large group classes cannot be.

A large database of teachers all over the world means that travel time and expenses are kept to a minimum. A German course in Watford will be taught by a German teacher in or around Watford; a course to learn Japanese in Dubai will be taught by a Japanese teacher based in Dubai.

If you need to learn Spanish, Listen and Learn can help you. Spanish is one of the most commonly spoken languages on the planet and the unofficial second language of the United States. Over 300 million people speak Spanish, with a large number of these living in Latin America. If you intend to visit Spain, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela or Andorra, a knowledge of Spanish is a real advantage.

Courses to learn French are another popular choice among people learning with travelling in mind. Large parts of Africa have French as an official language, along with France and Belgium in Europe. Many people say that French is the most beautiful and expressive of all languages. It is still the most commonly taught language in British secondary schools although more adults now choose to take Spanish courses.

Another of the world's most commonly spoken languages is Arabic. More people every year are choosing to learn Arabic and it is viewed as an essential part of 'understanding' the Middle East and is an essential for anyone planning to do business in the region. Arabic is one of the older languages and doesn't utilise the Roman characters shared by all European languages.

The language which has aroused the most interest in recent years is Mandarin (Chinese). More people around the world have Chinese as a first language than any other. With almost a fifth of the world's population living in China, this should come as no surprise. Naturally, a large number of the people who learn Chinese are doing so for business purposes as China represents the world's most rapidly growing market and is well on its way to becoming the world's largest economy.

If you need to learn a new language but are short of time, Listen and Learn could have just what you are looking for. The teaching provided is flexible and targetted at your needs.
