Our Immersive Language Programs

Intensive Language Immersion

Since 1967 adults and young people of all ages and interests have immersed themselves in new languages and cultures through the Rassias Method's Rapid Language Immersions.

Our goal is to make you comfortable and natural with the language immediately, in an error tolerant environment. Each day of Rassias, your oral proficiency grows by using the language repeatedly in context. Language textbooks take a back-seat to speaking the language from the first class.

Join with Rassias where we “Speak the Language to Learn It”.

Ten-Day Immersions

Our standard bearer - the ten-day total language experience - immerses you in speaking-and learning-a new language over ten hours each day. Then there's homework! Each day is an intensive experience in the target language and culture, combining Master Classes to introduce new concepts and grammar, drills that reinforce learning, dramatic moments to help language retention and over 60 verbal responses per student each hour-in the target language.

Five-Day programs

Five-day programs are the same intensive Rassias Immersions, for a shorter period. Many people take two five-day programs as a way to immerse, then study what was taught, and immerse again.

Individuals and groups

Few people learn a language alone. You need to use a language to learn a language. Thus, the Rassias Method does not offers individual instruction. We combine individuals at similar levels and teach in small groups. Individual coaching on specific language points is available at no cost.

Our Focus - Professional and Business Programs

Executive programs in Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, English, French, Italian and German are offered at your choice of location. We design each program to meet specific learning targets to maximize effective business communication.

Medical, Government, Foundation and International Organizations

Specific occupations often require customized language training that covers particular vocabulary. Rassias custom programs for medical and law enforcement personnel, international workers, clergy and foundations are regularly offered.

Certified Teachers and Active Learning

All of our Master Teachers and Assistant Teachers are carefully selected and trained Rassias Method Instructors. We never advertise for teachers. Instead, we carefully recruit teachers who are well-known professional language teachers and we train them in the Rassias Method to offer high quality and effective instruction.
