Spanish

I took an excellent beginner Spanish class with Danica Radeka. I loved the participation factor of the class. You had to do your homework and be involved in the discussions to add value to the class and to develop your personal learning. Danica was an enthusiastic and patient teacher who pushed you to do well and advance your language skills. I highly recommend taking Spanish with ABC Languages.

Japanese

I’ve been taking Japanese classes with Maki-sensei for almost 9 months now and she is a great teacher. I’m a heritage learner so there are specific things I especially need to work on and she’s been very helpful. She’s gone above and beyond what I’d expect from a teacher! The staff at ABC are also great, very responsive and accommodating. Since March the classes have been online and ABC helped make the transition smooth.

Russian

My daughter takes Russian classes with Natasha and we are very happy with the way classes are structured. Natasha brings interesting age appropriate material including songs and poems to classes making classes a lot of fun. Natasha and everyone at school are always on time and very responsive. Thank you, ABC languages!

Korean

Hell yeah! I’m taking Korean class for beginners here because I decided it’s time I needed to brush up on my Korean. I know how to speak and understand I would say – professional working proficiency. Writing and grammar is just what I needed help on most. And decided after simultaneously looking at various YouTube vids and browsing online for charts, guides, etc. I wanted to go physically in person to a class where I can learn and interact better therefore if I have any thoughts or questions it can be better approached and answered (loved my experience).

Our Story

We Are The Nation’s Leading Independent Language School

Rachel Meyer and Elizabeth Zackheim started ABC Languages to right some of the wrongs of their own language learning trajectory. Rachel and Elizabeth are native English speakers now fluent in several languages and know the dos (and don’ts) of learning a new language with confidence. Using the knowledge they’ve acquired as expert educators, they’ve created a school built on the foundation that effective language learning should be fun, social inspirational, and accessible. ABC Languages was founded in New York City in 1998 as a place where Rachel and Elizabeth could share their decades of learning and teaching experience with eager learners. Starting with just 4 classes in 2 languages, ABC Languages is now one of the nation’s leading language institutions, with classes in over 20 languages in the Bay Area, New York City, and online.
