Leading Language Lessons in NYC

Languages bind people, create communities, and, sometimes, sound damn sexy.

Some languages are ancient,

some are dead,

some sound harsh,

others widespread.

New York City houses most spoken languages in the world. In. The. World. The guy working the bodega also speaks Urdu. The cyclist that almost hit you is a native Farsi speaker. And the guy eyeing you in the bookshop has a keen Russian style.

Here are a few ways to improve your language in NYC:

  Spanish is the second most common language in NYC. In fact, depending on where you are, you may hear more Spanish than English. Remember any of Spanish you took in high school? Didn’t think so. Whether you’re planning a trip abroad, trying to relearn what Mr. Watkins taught you ten years earlier, or communicating with your neighbor, learn the language with no worries.

Just how we ignore grammatical conventions in English (when was the last time you said “whom?”), French does the same. Here, you’ll learn the essential slang found on TV, film, and in magazines, teaching you authentic French, not essay-on-mitosis French.
