The Boston Language Institute is one of the most diverse language schools in the United States. In addition to Arabic, Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), Farsi, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, and Russian classes offered year round on a group basis, the Institute also arranges private and semi-private instruction in over 100 additional foreign languages, including Dutch, Hebrew, Latin, Polish, Thai, Vietnamese, and rare languages such as Khmer, Nepali, Tamil, Tibetan, Urdu and Swahili.

Since 1981, we have taught over 140 languages, including English as a Second Language, to more than 45,000 students with quality of instruction and client service as our guiding principles. This has enabled us to treat each language as the only one we teach.

A typical instructor at The Boston Language Institute is a native speaker with years of teaching experience in this country and abroad. Our method relies as much on the high motivation level of our students as it does on the skills of experienced teachers. Students at The Boston Language Institute have in common a particular reason - study, relationship, business, or travel - which makes it important to actually speak the language they are studying rather than merely pass tests.

We offer several programs of instruction organized in different formats designed to meet your scheduling needs. Each level in our core program of group instruction is approximately equivalent to one-half of a college semester of study and is available in highly effective eight-week and accelerated four-week sessions.

In addition to the above programs, we offer a four-week, 120-hour Group Immersion Program in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Japanese (with additional languages available in response to demand).
