Learn Together. Progress Together.

“We are excited to continue working with John and Christina and feel that they are on this journey with us!”

“AnnaMaria is a wonderful teacher, very patient, always in good spirit, never dull, and never condescending.  She methodically advances through our Italian language text book and exercises, and effectively uses the whiteboard to review and summarize the important language and grammar details.“

“It is a shared experience for us as a couple. Something we can enjoy together in anticipation of our future adventures. We are able to help each other study and practice/“discuss” whose pronunciation is correct. Anne is very accommodating and patient. She is able to Instruct the two of us simultaneously with ease. She adjusts to our needs as a couple and capabilities as adult learners.“

“At the time we both had busy schedules and worked in different cities. We thought a French course would be a good opportunity to spend time together. It was! We looked forward to our afternoons at Speak, which were sometimes followed by walks on the Downtown Mall or dinner.“

“Frankly, during COVID we're pretty limited in what adventures we can enjoy. Learning a language together is a little bit like traveling, and it's aspirational toward the days when we get to go places again. We have our sights set on a little inn in Bretagne that we've visited before...“

“Matt and I started at very different levels of French and Anne has been able to tailor the class to meet both of our needs as one novice and one intermediate learner. Anne is so special because English is her second language so she understands how adult learners learn best from personal experience.“

“The biggest challenges for me are how to speak and write in clear and efficient ways,” says Wenwen. “I have a lot of opportunities to practice my English at Speak! Language Center. The lessons I am taking with Liz have equipped me with the skills of expressing myself more clearly and efficiently.”
