Excellent classes helped us give us a foundation in Japanese. The teachers were very nice and flexible and helped us learn as much as possible.

My teacher, Héctor, and I worked together for two years. Hes the best Spanish instructor Ive had - and Ive had several. Thanks toHéctors impeccable skills, I successfully completed the interpreter examination at my workplace. If you want to learn Spanish,Héctor at AILI is your man.

I had a really good experience here! Great Japanese instructors, very flexible with class scheduling, and extremely nice staff.

The Atlanta Language Institute has been life-changing for me. I went them to learn Dutch, which is a rare request. I’m have taken over 24 hours of classes and feel so confident about my ability to become a fluent Dutch speaker. I’m even planning to take another 20 hours of classes to further improve. Their staff is responsive and accommodating and great to work with. Lastly they are able to provide instructors who are native speakers which makes the learning more practical. I’m really glad that I chose the Atlanta Language School!

I am currently learning Spanish at Atlanta Language School and absolutely love my class! My teacher is Mrs. Silvana, who also teaches Italian. She is amazing! She makes sure I am applying what I learn not just in class, but when I leave the classroom, so that I am able to learn a lot quickly! She is the best teacher! I am currently at week 25 and hope to be almost fluent by 40. After I finish Spanish, maybe I will start French or Italian. I really enjoy being back in a learning environment, and teachers like Silvana make the whole experience very rewarding. Thank you for helping me achieve a lifelong goal of learning Spanish!

I initially enjoyed my classes here and the professor was good. After a few months of taking classes I decided to withdraw and find another school. There was an incident that could have been avoided had the owner been upfront with me as a customer. The owner of the school had acted unprofessional and I refuse to do business with them again. She made it clear that she doesnt care about the students/customers experience. There are much better schools in the Atlanta area. I suggest you look else where for a more stress free learning environment.Edit: I attended the ITAL 102 course at the beginning of the year. - Zedd

This place has been great! The staff and instructors are very nice and very personable. I took beginners Spanish and plan on advancing in the language as soon as possible. My teacher made the language very easy to learn. I wanted to learn the basics for an upcoming trip to Madrid. The class worked perfectly for my schedule and the instructor made me feel confident in my ability to speak the language properly. Awesome experience.

I took Chinese at AILI over the course of ten weeks. As I had already had a background studying the language, they did an amazing job tailoring the curriculum to my level and focusing on weak areas. They are able to teach any level whether you are starting from zero or trying to bolster skills for your profession. It has definitely been a great experience.

With learning a new language, I strongly believe that some of the important components to it are 1. a good teacher and 2. a good environment. At the Atlanta International Language Institute, I am happy to say that my expectations were exceeded in both of these aspects. As an Italian student, my instructor Silvana made learning Italian a breeze! I was worried at first, thinking that I would be completely lost, however, the way the class was structured was very unique and quite effective. For some, learning a language might seem like a chore, but I found myself eager to go to class every week. Silvana took extra time to help me whenever I needed a little extra push, which I am extremely grateful for. As far as the environment goes, I loved coming in every Saturday and being exposed to so many people from all walks of life who were doing what I was- pursuing a goal of theirs. The staff was also great too. I cant wait til the next level starts soon!

This school did an excellent job of organizing my classes around my schedule and working with me when it came to figuring out my language level needs. The staff is friendly and funny. My current Japanese course has been so fun and engaging, and Emiko knows just how to tailor her class to any burning questions I might have at the moment. I would highly recommend the courses (and the teacher!) to anyone looking to take Japanese. I also hear excellent things about the other languages. I wish I had the time to take more of them!

The Instructor was nice and qualified but wasn’t the best teacher. However, the real problem is with the administration. They are extremely unprofessional. They do not return calls, they do not resolve problems. They do not refund money or make good on missed classes even if the reason was understandable. They change the scheduled day for the class to secure a new student without regard to existing students whose money they already have. And if you miss classes due to their schedule change you won’t get any help from them because they won’t return your phone calls and will keep ignoring you in person while they take or even make calls related to potential new students. Also they are twice the price for half the classes as other places. I would not recommend choosing this place. Don’t waste your time and money. Find another option.

Today I completed my Spanish 101 level from Atlanta international language institute with Hector Abreu sir. It was a great experience to learn the language from him. The staff of the institute also helps the students at different levels.Great place to learn any language.

I started a French course which I was really enjoying, the instructor is English but his French was impressive. For different reasons I had to change the subject to English and the instructor and staff were so flexible and let me continue with an English lesson even though I got registered for French. I´m enjoying every lesson and learning tons of new stuff!

My experience at AILI has been worth every penny. Haibin is an outstanding Chinese instructor. She brings quality resources and learning techniques to every lesson. She maintains high expectations, yet is patient and willing to practice with you continuously until you get it right. She meets you exactly where you are, and guides you to perfect your abilities. She expects 100% effort from the beginning, but in the process you quickly develop confidence and proficiency in the Chinese language. Overall, I have found my time at AILI (through Haibins instruction) very beneficial and will definitely consider AILI should I decide to pursue another language.

I had such high expectations for the Atlanta International Language Institute and I was sorely disappointed. Like many other reviewers have said, they are horribly disorganized and lacking in communication. I was supposed to start a level 102 class but was given the wrong date and the class had already started. I was also the only one in a class and wasnt told my class was only lasting 5 weeks (instead of the 7 weeks which I was told was the norm for a small class). Teachers would talk to folks at the front desk during my session about future classes they were signed up for. No thanks - Ill learn my language somewhere else.

Loving my Portuguese class with Leandra! Class size is small so I get plenty of attention and can ask all my questions. She makes our class really fun, and my Portuguese has already improved tremendously!

Derek Philips is such a great Spanish teacher at AILI, he is thorough wiht the material and makes learning a language as an adult less intimidating. I enjoyed taking Spanish 101 under his direction. I am looking forward to other classes. I am only giving four stars because I wish the classes were offered more than once a week. I would like to be more invested in the material than the weekly class.

This a great place to learn a new language. I have no doubt I will become fluent in Spanish!

I have been taking Korean with Sooyoung for about 6 months now. I love the language so much! In this time I admit I am still scared to speak it, but I can translate basic sentences like I studied at the coffee shop or I walk to school, and a bit more complex ones like I get to work by bus, While I was in _____, I wanted to see you! etc. I take private lessons, so my experience might be a bit different to a group class one. Regardless, Sooyoung is an amazing teacher who is always open to questions, and always explains them even if its something youve already learned. She never makes you feel inadequate, which makes the class really relaxed and encourages the learning process. For my class, we also sometimes go over Korean stories, culture, and customs, which enriches the language experience overall. The book used is Integrated Korean which is also used at a lot of colleges, so if you plan to keep taking Korean you might be able to pick up where you left off. Sooyoung is open to teaching the class how the student/s wish so if you want more conversation, culture for a trip or job, reading & writing, assessment based learning, etc., its possible! I really love taking Korean here, and if you are interested in other languages, I know the other teachers are awesome as well.

My son loves continuing his Spanish here. He says that the 2 hours classes are fun and intriguing.

I have been learning Spanish under the tutelage of Hector Abreu for over 1.5 years at AILI. Hector is a very professional and polished instructor. His lesson plans are well-structured, and he has a lot of patience with me.

Ive had a really good experience here. Would recommend.

Edit: bumping up to 3 stars. Haria (I hope I didn’t botch the spelling) called me after reading the review, processed a refund for me, and was incredibly helpful and kind. She’s a certified Queen.Tired of actually receiving the services you pay for? Looking for the perfect “Wasted Time, Gas, & Money” bundle package? Atlanta International Language Institute is the establishment you’ve been longing for! Shop now to explore their vast array of money-wasting options: For instance, you can spend $300 and you will receieve:1. One email 2 hours before your first scheduled class postponing them for two weeks, because you are the only person who enrolled and they need to wait until others join the class to actually put the show on the road!2. One no-call-no-show from your instructor after you have patiently waited the two weeks and have driven thirty minutes to your lesson. NOT INCLUDED: contact from your instructor prior to the lesson explaining he won’t be there!3. One BONUS email a whopping hour and a half before your scheduled class in which your instructor weasels his way out of lessons ONCE AGAIN, this time asking you to make a private call to him so he can “explain your options”!4. One uncomfortable, eye-averting promise of a refund from the receptionist that is neither honored nor acknowledged ever again!Now, I have no doubt that my money has been used as makeshift incense and is smoldering in a crispy pile on the administrator’s desk, but I deserve at least ONE language service for the THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS that was taken from me: Can you translate “This business may seem like it is run by an opiated pack of lobotomized chimps, but do not be deceived! It is actually run by a pack of filthy thieves!”With all sarcasm aside, I am deeply disappointed with how this entire ordeal was handled. Since paying the $300, I waited over a month for my lessons to begin and did not receieve a single one, nor the promised refund. I’m 22, I don’t have a lot of money. I just want mine back.

Do they teach any languages like Korean or Japanese? I would like to learn Korean because I would like to go to Korea one day.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything Lizzy said below. Classes are cancelled with little notice. You or your t time is not valuable to them. Emails and phone calls are not returned timely. Time is wasted in class trying to print or find material. The only time they cared about anything is when they want you to renew a course.See copied post from another user below:I would highly not recommend taking a class here. They are extremely unprofessional. The teachers do not have consistent coursework or books; instead, they make worksheets on their computers and then spend half of class trying to print them for you to view. There was no syllabus, book, or structure to the course. I was told a book was included in the price of the course.When I emailed and called to discuss this with the management team, I was asked if they could return my call later, and I still havent heard back. I have been trying for about 2 1/2 weeks to get in touch with someone at the school to share my experience, and no one will respond to me. I do not recommend taking a course with a company as unprofessional as this one.

Great teachers. I enjoy my classes.

Good place to learn a new language specially that they are open on Saturdays. My only problem is that they are just a bit unorganized.

This is my seventh class with Atlanta International Language Institue and I progressed from speaking a few Spanish words to being able to have a conversation in Spanish. If you want to learn how to speak standard Spanish correctly then enroll in this school. The hours are flexible, the staff and instructors are outstanding, and you will get your moneys worth of Spanish education. Me gusta aprender Espanol al Atlanta International Language Institute asi que usted necesita tomar un classe ahora! No espere!

This place is awesome.

Atlanta Comedy School not Atlanta language school...waste of time waste of money

Great Staff!

Great teachers
