While acquiring credits is a major goal for every high school student who takes a language course, many students expect to make cultural connections and engage with the language at a deeper level as they seek enrichment for future travel and conversation. Unfortunately, some traditional high school campus classes can make cultural discovery very difficult. 

The student/teacher ratio is extremely high in many classes. This means teachers are limited to lecturing at one pace, according to one style, and there is little to no room for an enhanced teaching approach to focus on cultural discovery. Simply put, this approach isn’t considered a good use of time when one voice is expected to educate a group of students with different learning needs.

When students learn languages online with LanguageBird, native speaking instructors offer valuable one-to-one attention and are able to weave an immersive cultural journey into every lesson. They share their personal story and customs, while also personalizing the course to accommodate the student’s life and career goals. LanguageBird instructors make language learning real and relevant. 

Parents partner with LanguageBird because the value their teens receive from these online language classes pays off in unparalleled delivery of instruction and connection with a person, not software.
