Courses and Events for Individuals, Groups and Schools

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

I keep coming back to Speak! for so many reasons: Speak! offers a no-stress, lots-of-laughing way to learn and practice a new language; the teachers will tailor the class and design whole courses based on the needs and wants of the students; I have made so many new friends; and it enhances my life.
