Questions and answers about LSI - Language Studies International

  • “The private lessons can be organised after the activities but that might be a long day. If your main focus is to do as many hours of lessons as possible, I would recommend a general group course with private lessons on top and you could join the activities in your free time.”
    Lisa Lebret, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 09, 2019
  • “The 40+ course is held in mixed classes depending on the language level (all ages), but the afternoon programme is exclusively for students aged 40+.”

    Wendy Fraser, Homestay Coordinator from Auckland - Nov 16, 2022

    ”
