Who are we and why do we do this?

We’re all people who have learnt languages and seen our lives improve radically as a result. Additionally, the whole team have, in different countries and cultures, in different languages, for different reasons, taken that plunge into a new reality that learning and living in another language brings. And we all loved it!

That’s why we’ve made it our life’s work. And, in each case…how we make our lives work!

Language Trainers

We have over 20 language trainers on the platform, but 3 core staff who have been at Languages Collective since the beginning.

Our Story

We love online language training, you’ll feel that, see that and that’s what everyone says about us. That’s where the quality comes from: we use the best online platform, we weave our own experiences as learners into all our materials. This is where we make the difference: we’re all excited by what we’re doing; all the time!
