Idlewild’s mission
To help students learn a new language in the most enjoyable, effective, and authentic way possible.
Why Idlewild?
Effective. Idlewild will teach you to speak, understand and enjoy studying a language even if you think you can’t learn a language or have been bored with other methods.
Engaging. Idlewild’s classes are fun, practical, and stimulating – with just the right mix of teacher presentation and conversation practice.
Authentic. Our classes and materials feature native speakers using colloquial language in everyday situations. You’ll learn to think in the language, like a native, and not just to translate, like a tourist.
Proven. Our method is based on our own experience teaching group classes for more than a decade in New York City and on the latest research on language acquisition.
