The focus of our courses is on practical language skills for everyday use. La Lingua Language School was started in 1995 with the vision of teaching practical “real life” language as it is spoken. The founders had a dream of equipping students with the skills for true international communication. Along with practicing conversational skills, student will rehearse the language with role-playing, fun games and communicative activities.

You will also have the opportunity to join our regular La Lingua Language Exchange Meet Up, where our local and international students have the chance to meet each other and put what they have learnt into practice in a friendly and relaxed environment.
