"I absolutely LOVE learning Spanish with this company. We have three days of class: two for general conversation and one for work related language. I have learned a ton in just over a month from my courses. I have been able to meet and learn from 3 of their professors, all of which do a fabulous job. There is a clear understanding of the language being taught. I understand grammar better, I've learned useful "slang" terms that whenever my coworkers hear me use them, they get so excited! Can't say enough positive things about them and how they help me make connections and build rapport with the employees I care for."

"I've been taking French classes with Freestyle for 18 months after previously trying to learn via an app. I recently got to test my knowledge during my second visit to France, and it was a completely different experience from my first trip; I felt extremely confident with everything from ordering at restaurants and making phone reservations, to interacting with locals, and navigating around town and transit systems. Hardly anyone I spoke with switched to English and I even received compliments on my accent from native French-speakers! I've already started my next class and I'm excited to continue building on what I've already learned."

"I started studying French during the lockdown, with dreams of one day going to Paris! Before that, the only other language I had studied was Spanish, back in high school. I immediately noticed a difference in the quality of teaching - and my ability to grasp and use the language - at Freestyle. I studied on and off for about a year and ended up finishing French Level 4. Over a year after my last class, I booked my first ever trip to France. 10 days in Paris! I was excited - but nervous, because I wasn’t sure how well my French would hold up after such a long break without any practice in between. As it turns out, the learning I did at Freestyle more than prepared me for my trip. I was able to handle all aspects of travel - grocery shopping, asking for directions or other help, ordering in restaurants - entirely in French! The more I used it, the more confident I felt. Everyone I interacted with was genuinely happy to see and appreciated my effort. It was a dream trip made even dreamier by the fact that I could connect with the people and the culture and for that I have Freestyle to thank!"

"I've been taking French language classes through Freestyle Languages for about a year now. I started as a native English speaker with some Spanish language knowledge, but a complete beginner in French. They are constantly adapting and improving the classes with approaches to help with building vocabulary, grammar, listening and reading comprehension and, of course, speaking ability in your target language. I especially like that they use authentic material -- videos, music, recipes, literature, news, history, etc. so you're learning with real material and learning about history and culture along the way. If you've ever wanted to learn another language, this is a great way to do it. Best of all, it's now available across geographies. It's a commitment, but worth it!"

"I have taken 3 semesters of French classes at freestyle and I am so pleased with how much I have learned and advanced in French. Their teaching method is not boring, it engages you and most importantly, it motivates you to continue learning. In a regular semester you receive two weekly classes and a "Saturday Cafe" , which is a more casual conversational class on the weekend. It is worth every penny. Something I particularly love about Freestyle is that they incorporate a lot of the actual culture of the language/countries that speak it. It really is an immersive experience...happy hours, movies (Netflix watch parties), virtual tours, etc."
