Flexibility in terms of time and location as well as personalized learning content were the key for me in choosing to study a language online with Verbalplanet.

A very effective E-Learning system delivering one to one tuition by putting you in direct touch with native Icelandic speakers worldwide.

After two years of study I had reached a plateau. I found Verbalplanet and liked the idea of interacting with a native Arabic speaker, and the possibility of building my own curriculum.

By being able to define my requirements and objectives Verbalplanet has enabled me to pursue my life long ambition of learning Russian in a fun, effective and rewarding way.

I needed a more intensive approach, and luckily I came across Verbalplanet. This service provided the framework and the means for an incredible educational experience.

These classes are really different. My first lesson was exactly as I was hoping it would be. Intense, efficient and fun. Definitely my way of learning.

Verbalplanet was a great solution and the website practically invited me to have a go. I was surprised how easy it was to book and even though I was nervous my teachers were very encouraging.

Award winning language training that's worth talking about. Find a language tutor anywhere in the world then arrange a mutually convenient time to have your lessons.

It helps when you can have a conversation about topics that you are interested in. You naturally want to have that conversation which helps you overcome your fear of talking.
