We pride ourselves on designing personalised language courses tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. We believe that language learning should be practical and worth your time. That is why we provide our clients with the opportunity to shape the course content based on their needs—whether that includes preparing for an upcoming meeting, presenting a company, or replying to some e-mails.
We carefully select our language coaches. Our team of instructors are all highly qualified, with linguistic education and extensive experience in language teaching (we only make exceptions for native speakers). They have undergone a thorough onboarding process to ensure they are fully familiar with our teaching method. This includes completing an internal introduction, receiving mentorship from our education team, and participating in training sessions led by our internal or external lecturers.
During our initial conversation, we place a strong emphasis on identifying the most convenient time for you to improve your language skills. We give you the flexibility to choose the dates of your meetings, ensuring that the course schedule aligns with your other commitments and allows you to fully focus on your language learning goals. To accommodate the varying schedules and preferences of our clients, we have developed two different course packages: SMART and FREE.
You can learn in a variety of settings, such as at your workplace, at home, online, in a café, or even on a walk in the park. The possibilities are nearly endless! The space should provide a comfortable and stimulating atmosphere that fosters relaxation and concentration.
Following the initial conversation, our key account manager will advise you on the package that best suits your needs and prepare a non-binding offer.
Based on the objectives of the course, we will carefully select a language coach who we believe has the qualifications and experience to effectively guide you throughout the course.
Upon completion of the course, you will be awarded a certificate of completion and a final report that details your work and progress.
Our head of studies will have an in-depth discussion with you to understand your language learning goals, past experiences, and any specific challenges you may have. Together, you will determine the objectives of the course.
At regular intervals throughout the course, we will ask for your feedback on your satisfaction with the training and your progress. This will allow us to make any necessary adjustments to the programme to ensure that it is meeting your needs.

When selecting the right language coach for you, we take into consideration multiple factors such as your language needs, preferences, current language skills, location, and schedule. Based on the information provided, our education department will carefully select the most appropriate language coach for you. We will inform you about our selection before the course starts, and prior to your first meeting, the language coach will also send you a welcome message.
In general, the optimal frequency of meetings is 2 times per week, with each session lasting for an hour and a half (90 minutes). This schedule is especially recommended for individuals who are already in (fairly) regular contact with the target language and are looking for a fast and efficient way to improve.
We suggest more frequent meetings for those who urgently require knowledge but are new to learning the language. For individuals who already possess a strong understanding and regularly use the language, or wish to consistently improve over an extended period, we recommend scheduling meetings once a week.
After the meetings, the language coach will also provide you with engaging content in a foreign language, enabling you to stay in contact with the language outside the course.
Our courses are offered both online and in-person throughout Slovenia. If the course entails any travel costs, we will inform you in advance. Although our offices are located in Ljubljana, we always strive to find a LanguageSitter® from your area. We are flexible when it comes to location: the course can be held at your home, workplace, or a café of your choice.
While it is true that our prices may be higher compared to other providers, we believe that our tailored approach to meeting your specific needs and utilising your own materials makes our method extremely effective. As a result, you will require fewer lessons and spend less time learning the language, making it more cost-effective in the long term.
It is believed that achieving independent use of a foreign language requires between 400 and 600 hours of study, with a minimum of half of these hours dedicated to independent learning, which must take place (almost) every day. The level of a basic user, who can understand and respond to basic speech in the target language using simple sentences, can be achieved within 90 hours of consistent work.
Below, we have listed the key factors that have an impact on the speed of language learning.
– Past experience with language learning. Learning foreign languages becomes increasingly easier and faster with each new language learned, especially if the new language belongs to the same language family. Learning languages from unfamiliar language families or featuring unfamiliar sounds and non-Latin script may require more time and effort.
– Your personal standards for language proficiency. Language serves as a tool for communication, and in order to effectively communicate, one must have a conversation partner. Therefore, the main criterion for language proficiency should be the ability to effectively understand and be understood by one’s conversation partner. Despite the mistakes.
– Time dedicated to learning a language. In addition to taking a course, it is important to actively practice and immerse oneself in the language outside of the course. Limiting language learning only to a language school can impede progress and significantly slow down the learning process, as opposed to incorporating the language into daily life. We will gladly help you find ways to achieve that.
– Exposure to language. The more opportunities you have to actively practice the language, the quicker the learning process will be.
– Course selection. Maximise language progress by combining self-study with expert guidance, especially if independent learning is a new challenge for you. In group courses, the progress is determined by the group’s overall pace. Individual courses ensure faster progress as your progress is not slowed down by the number of participants.
Significant improvement was usually observed after just 30 hours, though basic users are advised to enrol in a 60-hour course for optimal results. Reach out to us for a comprehensive course proposal.
