Description

What We're About

We know from experience that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to education. Learning a language is about forging your own path at your pace in an environment that, not only encourages, but inspires you. In fact, that is the beauty of it and why we are so passionate about sharing that. We offer group classes for adults and private instruction for students of all ages. In every instance, our goal is to help our students craft a program that best meets their learning needs. In addition to our regular private and group classes, we provide programs for schools, corporations and government agencies as well as dialect coaching for film, television and theater.

Some Highlights of Our Group Programs:

  • Flexible Enrollment Packages: We offer 6, 8 and 12-week packages for most of our group classes so you can decide how long you want to study.
  • On-Going Classes: Once a group class starts, it is ongoing as long as there are enough students.
  • Easy Change Policy: If you find that the pace or schedule of your class is not working for you, no problem! With our open admission policy we are almost always able to find an alternate class for you no matter where you are in your enrollment package.

Who We Are

Founders: ABC Languages has been teaching New Yorkers 20+ languages for over 20 years. ABC was founded by polyglots and language enthusiasts Elizabeth Lunney Zackheim and Rachel Meyer who set out to create a place where students want to learn and teachers want to teach. ABC now serves thousands of students every year in New York, San Francisco, Menlo Park, Westchester/Fairfield Counties, New Jersey, Boston and Washington DC.

About Our Students: At ABC, your goals and your learning process are our priority. Some students come looking for a quick course to prepare for a trip. Others just want to spend a few months gaining or refreshing language skills or dive in for a 25-hour per week intensive in preparation for a move abroad. Then others are here to make this an ongoing practice for self-enrichment. The point is, this is your journey and every single person at ABC Languages wants to help you facilitate that journey.

About Our Teachers: Our teachers are our community and we are lucky and proud to work with such a wonderful, talented and international group of people.  ABC teachers are passionate about what they do. Most of our 100+ instructors have been working with us for more than 5 years. Every single one brings their own flavor and the best of themselves to the classroom. Having multiple methods at their disposal enables them to design a creative and learner-centric environment where they can have a direct dialogue with you, the student, and cater their approach to meet your particular learning needs and goals.

  • Spanish - Total Beginner

    Reviewed by John D. on 3/7/2024
    Our instructor wasn't very good.
  • Arabic - Total Beginner

    Anonymous review on 12/26/2023
    Unfortunately the teacher was not very flexible or good with beginners. There was little opportunity to understand how a pronunciation was incorrect, the words were just repeated at the same speed over and over and so students had little improvement. Class exercises were seldom and ineffectively used. I got more from self study of the book than I did from class. Can’t recommend this teacher and I am continuing my Arabic studies at another language school.

    I love every minute of the learning experience with Clara. Clara esta inteligente e interesante. I learned how to pronunce the words correctly, I learned how to conjugate verbs "estar" and "ser". I learned many new useful Spanish words that I intent to use in my work settings. I like it so much that I am signing up for more lessons.

    The class was interesting and low stress. The instructor was friendly and patient. She knew just the right moments to drop in with a helpful tip or correction. She also always provided the reason for the correction.

  • Intro to Spanish Crash Course

    Anonymous review on 8/14/2022
    Jose was a great Teacher! However, the other participant in the class constantly spoke over and interrupted Jose the entire time. The other participant basically hijacked the class to make it his own. It was very disruptive and very aggravating, and really took away from my ability to participate. Out of the 15 pages of worksheets we were to go over, we only got through 7. At the very END of the class, the other participant let it be known that he is hearing impared and usually needs to read lips. I think more questions need to be asked of participants before being able to sign up for group courses. The other participant clearly needed a one on one class and probably didn't get out of the class everything he needed either, by not indicating he needed more individualized attention.
