Why you should choose Speak Out

Speaking a foreign language with confidence is easier than you think. Whether you’re a beginner or have prior experience, our lessons have helped over a thousand students learn a new language in a way that is easy, friendly, and relaxed. Speak Out is an Edinburgh-based language school founded in 2012.

We specialise in French, German, Spanish, and Italian courses that focus on practical and useful communication, rather than on written exercises and exams. Our teachers are hand-picked to give you the best quality teaching. Unlike a mobile app, our teachers believe that there are no right and wrong answers.  Communication is key.  

We will help guide your progress and provide useful, personal feedback. While apps can be helpful, they are generic and focused on correcting errors. At Speak Out, we know that effective communication is about confidence, not formulas. We use conversation to build your skills and you can learn more about our methods in this video.
