Berlitz
Foreign tongue tutors
Berlitz is a language-education company known for its immersive teaching method, where instructors speak only the target language from the first lesson.
The name has become shorthand for intensive language instruction: I took a Berlitz course before my trip to Japan.
Founded in 1878, it operates language centers worldwide and publishes travel phrase books.
