About inlingua

Founded in 1968 in Bern, inlingua has become one of the largest and most successful language training organizations, with about 325 training centers in 30 countries around the globe.

inlingua Salzburg itself was established in 1990 in the historical city center of the World Heritage city of Salzburg by Ursula Pretting.

All teachers are native speakers trained and supervised by inlingua's inernational training network, which also keeps each school abreast of the latest developments in language training methodology.

The inlingua Direct Method guarantees rapid acquisition of a foreign language without tiresome vocabulary drills; right from the start you speak only the new language. This is the best and most efficient way to learn to speak a foreign language fluently in a short time.

The oral lessons are backed up by authentic materials (books, videos, cassettes, CDs) developed and continuously updated by inlingua's Methods and Materials Center in Bern.

The inlingua LEARN-WARE

The inlingua organization produces its own learn-ware, specially designed to complement the method. It is this combination of special inlingua materials (books, CDs, etc.) and special teaching techniques which makes 'the inlingua method' the most effective way to learn to speak languages.

The inlingua General Program for German as well as the Business German programs provide a sound foundation for students wishing to take internationally recognized examinations. Both programs conform to the levels determined by the Association of Language Testers in Euorpe (ALTE) under the auspices of the Council of Europe. They are also linked to the US Norms.
