We've worked our language learning magic on everyone from international companies, executives, journalists, retirees, stay-at-home parents, and GCSE students. Here is what our clients say…

At the end of the course I felt that my knowledge, understanding and competence in the language had leapt forward. More importantly my confidence received a very welcome boost. It was time well spent.
I’ll probably do another week with them later in the year when I can fit it into my diary. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and worthwhile experience.

Lockdown for me will always mean time spent acquiring German language skills in the comfort and safety of my own home... I could still interact with my teacher online , see him, share written pages, see his board, read his facial expressions, hear the pronunciations. It is still very interactive – like being there without the commute!

I couldn’t recommend Bond Street Languages highly enough.

This was actually my second time studying with them. The first was years ago as a relative beginner in French. Most recently I returned to brush up on the language after years of studying (and eventually working) in France. Both experiences were fantastic.

The teachers are kind, intelligent and extremely skilled in pinpointing the needs of their students and work hard to make sure there’s actual tangible improvement. The mixture of formal lessons and more casual, everyday, interactions (often with a fun excursion mixed in) makes Bond Street Languages unique and particularly effective.

I just finished a wonderful month of learning Italian at Bond Street Languages. I really enjoyed the experience. Clarissa and Anna were both terrific as teachers, and fun and interesting to converse with. And special thanks Ana Herrera for being so accommodating and tailoring a course to fit my needs and time schedule.

I had been learning on my own from books and apps, but my classes at BSL have allowed me to really start speaking Italian. I’m amazed at how much progress I have made in such a short time.

I would recommend Bond Street Languages to anyone who is serious about learning another language.

“The Italian session was great. It was easy for me to follow and honestly it was a relief and a blessing to think about Italian and the beauty of language. Thank you, thank you, thank you – grazie, grazie, grazie!”
— Tracey
Bond Street Languages is an absolutely amazing place for those who really want to learn a foreign language in an efficient and entertaining manner... Don’t listen to anyone who says that eight hours is tough and that you will get fed up with the language as a result – the manner how the teachers lead the day doesn’t bring you to the point when you feel tired of the language. The opposite (is true). This is inspiring and gives you a wings to fly feeling! I will not be able to say how grateful I am to my teachers for all their time, efforts and love in what they do. I am endlessly happy that this school and its method crossed my way and now I CAN SPEAK!!
— Julia, French Course
“I enjoyed every day of my 10 day intensive Italian course. After 4 days of learning I went out with an Italian friend of mine and we had more than a passable interaction in Italian in a busy social environment. After the full ten days i was driving with the same friend and we were discussing the philosophies of Aristotle. That is not a joke. “
— Michael Davies, Italian Course
I have been very impressed by the patience shown by my three teachers. All have helped me enormously and have been a complete pleasure to work with. I shall miss them all! I enjoyed it hugely.
— Joe Kidson, French Course
I’ve always wanted to learn French, to better communicate with some family members.

I had such an amazing experience at Bond Street Languages and learned so much. My tutors Max and Mireille were fantastic. They were able to take the most complex parts of the language and explain it so well, it just made learning so simple and fun. They would speak to me in French, encourage me to also speak French, read French text out aloud, and write in French. They were very patient, understanding and friendly. I felt very comfortable and at ease throughout my week with them.

We would take regularly breaks, take walks outside, coffee and lunch breaks, and even visit the park. The immersion process continued as we kept speaking in French during our breaks.

My motivation and commitment to learning French has increased so much more after my time with Bond Street Languages, and my tutors also provided me with notes from my lessons which I go over regularly. I just wanted to thank Bond Street Languages so much for giving me such incredible support on my journey to learning French.
— Jason, French Course
Excellent, hands on, clear and going at my own pace, so I wasn’t overwhelmed. A good structure, and I really enjoyed it.
— Kate Martin, Spanish Course
The teaching was first class: imaginative, engaged, personalised, humorous, fun and very clear.
— Peter Cleland, Spanish Course

Time out review

TIME OUT JOURNALIST LORNA JOINED US TO SEE IF THE INTENSIVE LEARNING METHOD REALLY DOES WORK. (SPOILER: IT DOES).

“A couple of years ago, I decided to get cable tv on the basis that I could improve my languages by watching foreign channels. Instead, I got hooked on 'Seinfeld' and CNN and my German remained as rusty as ever.  Read more...


I understand the language construction, grammar etc. It’s all starting to come together now! The teaching has been excellent. Both Aristide and Pauline were very professional, nice and clearly understand language teaching very well. They are able to adapt the style of their teaching to suit the student. I have already recommended it to my friend and my colleagues. The concept is great and the teachers are excellent. I cannot improve upon my experience.

“Your team of French teachers is fantastic, very talented and patient, and their different styles served to break up a quite intense experience and make it tremendously enjoyable.”
— John Torrie, CEO Steria, 10 Day French Course

EVENING STANDARD JOURNALIST SARAH RICHARDSON JOINED US FOR AN INTENSIVE COURSE.

“Perhaps you have been given two weeks' notice that you are relocating to Germany. Perhaps you are giving a presentation in Milan next Wednesday and you need an Italian refresher course and more specialist vocabulary. For you, leisurely conversation classes over the next three months are not an option. Read more...


“My sincere thanks to your team for the exceptional 10-day French immersion course that I have recently completed. I started the course with absolute zero knowledge of the language and I have been delighted with the progress that we made over the ten days. “
— Tom Brinded, 10 Day French Course
