RELEVANCE

Lark Languages trainings impart knowledge and skills that apply directly to clients’ work experiences. Language lessons are designed to target the most commonly used vocabulary, grammar, writing and speech patterns for your specific job in your specific industry. Rather than spending time learning words and constructs that are not pertinent to your goals, you focus on the language topics that are the most relevant to the communicative contexts in which you work making you a master of the types of communication that really matter.

SUPPORT

Language trainings are led by instructors who guide you on your language journey as your facilitator and coach. Prior to your training, your instructor meets with you to evaluate your language skill level as well as understand your goals and preferred learning styles. We get to know you as an individual in order to orchestrate a learning experience that capitalizes on your strengths, provides maximum accountability to your goals and creates the best springboard for your language learning success.

PRACTICE

Just like developing skills in math, music or athletics, the more you practice, the more you develop. Lark Languages trainings privilege experiential learning and practice over explicit instruction 85% of the time. We believe that the best way to accelerate your language learning is to use the language, so Lark Languages participants enjoy multiple practice opportunities in and outside the training environment. Whether through interactive projects in the classroom, conversation group socials over dinner, service outreach, book clubs or international partner language exchanges, Lark Languages training participants find many ways to engage with native speakers and practice their target language skills in authentic situations. 

CONVENIENCE

We believe that language acquisition is achieved most efficiently when learning activities fit easily into the routines of learners’ every-day lives.  We help you establish a daily practice of learning habits that move you toward your language goals without taking you away from commitments to work, family or other areas of your life. It may mean that you listen to a Lark Languages audio every day for 20 minutes as you enjoy your morning coffee or during your commute to work. It may mean reading aloud to your children every night or watching a favorite TV series during your daily treadmill workout at the gym.  Whatever your interests, and no matter how busy your schedule, our Lark Languages team will help you discover dozens of ways to integrate meaningful learning activities into your daily life so that you can achieve your target language skills efficiently and enjoyably.
