Our method
Everyone learns differently. PROPER Languages is aware of the latest advances in language learning and adapts to the cognitive profile of each learner, offering a tailor-made, personalised approach.
Many foreign language learning methods rely on total immersion as the only solution. However, there are many ways to learn a language and depending on the learner’s profile, background and objective, a purely immersive method can be costly in terms of your training budget. It is important to focus on learning accuracy and fluency simultaneously for long-term results that are in line with your learning style.
Our team
Sharing over 20 years of PEP English expertise, PROPER Languages is made up of highly qualified professionals all with language learning passion and know-how.
