 An international city

Geneva is a surprisingly small city with a prestigious position in the world of business and international affairs. It has a population of just 650,000 of which 40 per cent are foreigners. This gives the city an international feel. You might hear four different languages while pushing your shopping trolley down just one supermarket aisle. The locals speak French, but almost everyone speaks some degree of English which is the official language for the many international organisations and business headquarters based in the city.

Geneva is on the shores of Lake Léman — one of the largest lakes in Europe. The Rhône River flows through the city. France is a stone throw away, as are some of the finest ski reports in Europe. Geneva offers visitors and residents an exceptional quality of life and amazing array of activities from the snowy mountains to the lake.

 Student testimonials

I chose The Language House to improve my English during my holidays - three hours a day, four days a week - and I can say it was the best decision. I worked with Sarah for one week and she is very good professional. Next three weeks I worked with Garry, a true professional, flexible, smart, polite and a great advisor. He has helped me to improve my English speaking in my IT environment. I improved more with Garry and Sarah in 1 month than in 6 months in a language academy in Spain... I will definitely continue with them remotely.

I want to personally share how truly happy Karina is with her teacher. It has been a wonderful experience for her — not only because of the teaching method, which is excellent, but also because of the warmth, patience, and genuine care she receives in every lesson. She had four lessons each week for 5 weeks. It is not easy to find someone who combines professionalism with such a human and kind approach, and we sincerely appreciate it.
