I travel constantly for work and every other language course I tried fell apart the moment I got on a plane. With Berlitz Flex I could do my self-study modules from any hotel, then book my coaching sessions around whatever timezone I was in. Six months in I'd finished one full French level. I've never stuck with anything this long.
Everything you need to know before getting your free Berlitz Flex quote.
Standard online classes require you to show up at a fixed time every week — which is exactly what makes them hard to stick to. Berlitz Flex removes that constraint entirely. You do your self-study activities whenever you want, and you book your 1-on-1 coaching sessions with a certified Berlitz instructor when you're ready and when it fits your schedule. You get all the proven effectiveness of the Berlitz Method — live instruction, full immersion, immediate feedback — with none of the rigid timetable.
Berlitz Flex is currently available for French, English, Spanish, and German — the four most in-demand languages in Canada. Whether you need French for a federal government role or TEF Canada exam, English for career advancement or IELTS prep, Spanish for Latin American business travel, or German for European partnerships, there is a Flex package for your goal.
The Flex 6-month package includes 20 live 1-on-1 private coaching sessions. The Flex 12-month package includes 40. You book each session directly through your MyBerlitz portal when you're ready — there are no mandatory dates or deadlines for individual sessions. Sessions are delivered via a secure video platform with your assigned Berlitz instructor, and are fully immersive in your target language.
