Custom Language Programs, Events, Birthday Parties

At Speak! our goal is to respond to your language, culture and travel-related needs creatively and effectively. Our language services for individuals include private language lessons geared towards your level, goals (pronunciation, grammar, fluency) and personal-professional interests or needs (i.e. music, nursing, upcoming travel). We can also customize a one-time or multi-lesson small group course for your club, travel group or family, either at Speak! or at your location. And how about a unique, culturally-themed birthday party for your child: Japanese (Pokemon, Calligraphy, Origami…); Russian (egg painting and tea); Italian (pesto making, cheese tasting) – pick a language and culture and we can customize a birthday party based on your child’s age and interests!

Language Services and Programs for Schools and Universities

In addition to classes at Speak!, we also work with a growing number of schools to provide inspired and effective language and culture education. For schools interested in outsourcing their language programs, Speak! can design a course of study that suits the needs and schedules of students.

We Provide:

  • Language and culture events to enrich your school’s existing program
  • Enrichment or after-school programs for elementary and middle schools through our “Speak! at School” program * Language Courses at your School or University

Spending two weeks in Todi, studying Italian and remembering what really matters in life—family and good friends—was a dream come true. Watching shooting stars in a field in Umbria on the way back to Todi from Montefalco is one of the many memories that will stay with me forever. For two weeks, we all lived in the moment and enjoyed life. This was more than a trip, it was a journey. Grazie mille, Christina, from the bottom of my heart.
