🌟 At Inspire, we have a unique way of teaching languages! Instead of just memorizing vocabulary lists, we make learning fun with games, role-plays, and group discussions. From day one, students gain confidence and fluency.
📚 We focus on teaching language concepts and how to use them, rather than just memorization. Our classes are interactive, encouraging students to participate actively. Our approach combines Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Game-Based Learning (GBL), which ensures that students are engaged and eager to learn.
🎓 Most importantly, we believe learning should be enjoyable! We aim to break away from boring education routines and help students become independent learners. Learning, to us, is an exciting journey that lasts a lifetime.
Our lesson material is prepared by certified French teachers and according to DELF guidelines.
