Languages

If you want to work abroad, learning a foreign language can boost your job prospects as well as make travelling more enjoyable. learndirect offers an exciting new way to learn over 100 languages, from Afrikaans to Zulu.

You'll learn how to:

  • Use greetings and essential phrases
  • Order food and drink and ask for directions
  • Talk about food, colours, shopping, parts of the body, numbers, telling the time and countries.

Are these courses for your level?

You can choose from over 100 language courses at beginner level. For our most popular languages, we offer four different levels. These are:

  • Beginner
  • Beginner plus
  • Intermediate
  • Business

How will you learn?

You learn online - all you need is access to the internet.

  • Learn in ten-minute sessions, or if you really want to, you can cover the basics in a weekend!
  • Start speaking straight away by repeating what you hear - then compare your voice to a native speaker.
  • Learn new words as you play games - with pictures to reinforce your memory
  • Test your knowledge with fun quizzes

How long will it take?

You'll have access to your language course for 12 months so you can dip in and out of your learning whenever you like within that time.

How much do the courses cost?

£29.99 (£24.99 + VAT) - at all levels

For our most popular languages, you can buy a bundle of beginner and beginner plus courses for £49.99.
