Testimonials from recent students at LaPont Language Centre:

"Although at this stage of my life I am learning Italian for pleasure, I recognise that there is a need for structured classes and a balanced combination of grammar and conversation. The class sizes are such that each student has a' voice' and their needs are met on an individual basis. For me this has been the best possible learning atmosphere I could have hoped for. Encouragement, a gentle push to achieve and above all a teacher who is 'sympatico' have made the learning process a pleasure…"

"My wife and I took some Spanish Classes at Lapont, we visited South America last year and thought its was good idea to learn this lovely language to enrich our travel experiences. The classroom atmosphere was relaxing and the "students" were encouraged to converse in "Spanish". Martha our Spanish teacher had a gift to create the perfect environment to learn a new language and culture. .."

"Enjoyable Learning is what I have encountered with Lapont Language Centre. No matter what your level or ability is you are encouraged to join into the discussions and have fun learning a new language, even if you make mistakes. There is no need to feel intimidated as the atmosphere is supportive and gives you an opportunity to attempt different expressions and phrases to develop skills that allow you to communicate. Most important the emphasis is on communication rather than dogmatic terms of grammar. …"

Merit Morgan

"From the start of 2011, I have been studying Italian and the teacher has adapted the programme to suit my needs and those of other students. She has covered grammar and many situations [restaurant, seeking directions, with friends] and progressively longer conversations. We now speak nothing but Italian in our classes…"

"I have been taking beginner level French classes with Lapont Language Centre for almost 2 months now and would highly recommend the style of teaching. It has been a delight to have lessons with Catherine our French teacher and I believe that we have learned a great deal in a short period with particular emphasis on being able to use with confidence, colloquial modern French for conversational purposes. I look forward to continuing on with the school in the future."

Cynthia Crane, Manly

"My dream was to live and work in China for one year, but first, I needed to have some knowledge of the Chinese Mandarin Language ! so I decided to join a small Mandarin Class for Beginners to learn and to improve my language skills...our teacher was very dynamic, friendly and well-organised. At Lapont I met lots of new friends. Lapont organised lots of nice cultural activities where I could meet wonderful people who shared the same passion for languages and travel..I now feel confident to pursue my plans to live in China in 2013..."
