Taking group lessons at ABC Language School DC is a fun, interactive way to learn the language of your choice. Our teachers are trained professionals who bring years of experience to the job and know how to teach language in a dynamic and effective way.

Class size: Our groups are small, from 3 to 9 people per class, so you get more individual attention.

Duration: You have a choice of how many weeks you can sign up for because all of our classes are ongoing. We have different options for class sessions - 6 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks. You choose whichever one is most convenient and can re-enroll if you wish to continue. Classes are once a week, 1.5 hrs each (with a minimum of 3 students in each class).

Cost: The cost depends on which package you select plus $50 registration to cover materials and books for the class.

6 weeks $220
8 weeks $275
12 weeks $360

Once your first enrollment is up, you may opt to purchase another package of weeks and continue to attend your same class as it progresses.

Languages offered: We offer group lessons in Amharic, Arabic, Cantonese, Farsi, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Mandarin, Pashto, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swahili, Turkish, and Urdu.

If we are not currently offering group classes in the language of your choice, you can request a class. If there is enough demand for a language, we’ll schedule it. Remember, your vote counts, too!
