Imagine this...

Want to do a service project in Central America? Have a significant other from the Spanish speaking world? Do you work where Spanish is often used? You’ve tried to use your high school Spanish, but the words and constructions are just not coming to you, and it seems that everyone is speaking at warp speed!

But what if you could learn a language in a way that would help with your confidence and retention, and give you the knowledge of cultural differences so that you are able to connect effectively with the native speaker?

At The Language Learning Institute, you can learn skills that enable you to converse at the level on which you are studying. We use tried and tested methods to build your confidence in speaking and understanding AND we support your experience by educating you in the cultural and linguistic nuances of what you are studying.

Instructor(s)

Founder/Director Nancy A Scarselletta

Hello! I'm Nancy. On my journey to becoming bi-lingual, I studied and lived in Biarritz and Paris where I was inspired to teach French differently. Wanting to teach students how to speak French and connect with people, I took my diverse undergraduate work, studies in phonetics at the Sorbonne, and my Master's Degree from Middlebury and created what is now known as The Language Learning Institute Methodology. Thousands of students have benefited from this way of teaching, and you can too!
