OUR PHILOSOPHY We believe that the steps to successfully learning a new foreign language start with an environment in which students love to learn and teachers love to teach. At ABC we strive for that every single day. We also know that the steps to successfully learning a new foreign language are much the same for every student, while the end goal and path to learning is highly individualized. With that in mind, ABC's professional instructors have the freedom to address each student's needs, goals and learning patterns so that, while following a logical progression, each class goes at a pace that works for you, the students. No matter what your goals are, long-term learning, a quick course to refresh skills, preparing for an upcoming trip abroad or if you just want to get acquainted with a new language, our staff and instructors are here to help you every step of the way as our you discover your path to proficiency and success.
