Welcome to Language Institute of Georgia

Language Institute of Georgia is a well established language school located in Buckhead Atlanta. It offers language courses in Spanish, Italian and German via Progressive Comprehension Approach.

Retention is the strength of our method. When we speak we have to recall situation specific words and structures fast to express ourselves. One can only recall what one has retained well. We use reading extensively as a tool to build vocabulary and develop a good understanding of the structure of the language. When you read you run into the same words and structures repeatedly in their proper context, which helps you greatly to retain the target language.

We do not use Total Immersion for beginning and intermediate language classes. Being immersed in a language that you do not understand will not do you any good. Learning a second language as an adult is totally different from learning your first language as a child. A child in his first few years learns a limited vocabulary from the environment in which he grows. His or her exposure to the language is very relevant, because his survival depends on it. Besides that, he lives in that environment all the time. The concept that the same thing can be duplicated by a CD or a class is not very sound. Also adults do not speak like children.

We do not force our students to speak prematurely. We teach them how to read first so that they can assimilate the language. Once they have acquired a reasonable command of the language, they find it easier to speak. We explain things in English. The role of English gradually diminishes in the advanced classes.

If you spend few hours a week using our method, you can be reasonably fluent in the target language in about one year. Native fluency can be acquired in about two years. Our method can also be used independently as self study. After few classes you can continue on your own as well. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
