Frequently Asked Questions


Q. How long does it take to learn a new language?
A. The answer clearly depends on how much time and effort one puts into the learning process. Personally, my record was 8 months - I lived in the country and spoke the language as much as I could and got top marks at the C1 exam.
Q. Is it true that some people are naturally inclined to learn and speak foreign languages and others aren't?
A. My personal belief is that there is no such thing as a genetic predisposition - just dedicated teachers and willing students!
Q. I have only achieved a B1 qualification - can I register for a class with you?
A. Althouogh I mainly work with clients who already are in the position of working on a C1 level, there might be some cases in which I take on a student who hasn't yet passed a B2 examination. Please enquire using the contact form and specify your requirements.
