My daughter has been receiving private French lessons at the Language Learning Institute for about a year. Under the tutelage of director, Nancy Scarselletta, her listening, speaking and writing skills have flourished and her confidence has grown immensely.

The atmosphere at the institute creates a very comfortable learning environment, making learning a new language easy and fun. Highly recommend!

Uniq

Positive learning environment that has helped me achieve my goal! It is worth it!

Rachel C

Excellent and fun experience for my girls to learn a new language.

Chrisanne C

The unique teaching method helped me to build vocabulary and grammar and to continue studying on my own. I speak French every day even if only a few minutes and to myself. I especially like the intensive oral approach. I have been able to get my message across when visiting French-speaking countries.

Over the last two years, I have come to appreciate Nancy’s vast experience –and infinite patience! — in teaching French with her unique emphasis on phonetics which she studied at the Sorbonne. In my opinion, French is not an easy language for English speakers given its unusual rules with multiple exceptions, potential liaisons, numerous irregular verbs, unfamiliar phonics, and plentiful idioms. I’ve appreciated Nancy’s approach and guidance throughout the course. And it’s been fun.
