What is special about learning it from inlingua?
The “inlingua Method” of teaching is very different from the conventional method. In the conventional method the stress is on explaining the things and the teacher ends up doing most of the talking but we at inlingua are very well aware of the fact that a language can be learnt only by speaking, language is not math or history where one can memorize formulae and dates. Our objective is to make the students speak and that’s how they learn.

Which language should we opt for? Which one is easier to learn? Is it necessary to know
   English well in order to learn another European language?
The choice of language is based on what are your career plans are, what would you like to do in the future, where would you like to work or what your areas of interest are etc. It also depends upon your flair for the language.

It is not essential to know English to learn any other language as we teach you in the target language only and do not use the translation method.
