Hi Felipe, thank you for your review. We're so glad that you're enjoying your course at Languages International!
Fantastic experience: درست فيه عام ٢٠٠٣ جميل
Thanks very much for your review. It's great to hear that you have such good memories from over 20 years ago!
Positive experience: Perfect place for free English courses. It would help if you came early to sign in, there is a queue to put your name on a paper before a class. But sometimes, an Asian lady posts a list that is already half-filled, and it is impossible to visit the classes even if you come three hours early.
Thank you for your review, Nikita. Just to clarify, our free English classes are not always available: they are only offered when we run a Cambridge CELTA course, in which the teachers-in-training practice their skills by teaching free classes. And they are offered on a 'first come, first served' basis; there are no pre-bookings. Please see https://www.languages.ac.nz/teacher-training/free-lessons/ for more details.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful building lots of parking...
Fantastic experience: I'm from Japan and came to here with co-worker. It was first time for me to learn English at school like this. I had been for two months from Feb. to Mar. 2024. English skills are poor and always anxious because of it, but no worries about anything. Assistant who relates to your country or area stay to explain about school systems on one day or more per week. Every teacher is very fun and makes class more enjoyable. I had enjoyed a good time well and can recommend to others this confidently in Auckland, but the only concern for me is that some teachers have a short period in school.
Thanks very much for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed your time with us.
Negative experience: 1-Very bad experience 2-You cannot get your money back 3-The price is overrated 4-Teachers are not good and you can't change them 5-The building is old and there is no air conditioning or smart board 6-Housing options are very poor. Family housing is one hour to school 7-School tourism activities are very expensive
Thanks for your feedback and we're sorry you weren't satisfied with your experience at our school. It's not clear to us who you are so it's not possible for us to respond to the specifics of your complaints.
Fantastic experience: People who are taking exams are usually full of anxiety, but this place had an amazing people and coach who makes who feel relax and comfortable. If you 're looking for a place to book your English exam, I am recommending this place 100% for convenience and professionalism with good conduct.
Thanks for your kind comment, Lenny. I'm glad you had a great OET experience with us and hope that you are moving forward with your healthcare career in NZ!

Fantastic experience: Good
Negative experience: Mein erster Eindruck von der Schule war Wow. Nette Lage, toller Park, schönes Gebäude. Wird schon cool werden. Die Ernüchterung kam bereits nach mehr als einer Woche. Die mir zugeteilten Lehrer waren entweder wenig motiviert bzw. bestrebt ihr Ding durchzuziehen. Von einem Gemeinsam und/oder dem Beibringen der Sprache durch gemeinsames Sprechen und Korrigieren war nichts zu merken. Es wurden hauptsächlich Grammatik und Vokabeln gepaukt, ohne dabei auf das Anwenden zu achten. Die Motivation in der Klasse war daher auch dementsprechend. In Gesprächen mit verschiedenen Mitschülern wurden Äußerungen wie "S/He is boring." getätigt. Auch Gespräche mit der Schulleitung waren erfolglos. Es wurde mir dazu lediglich mitgeteilt, dass ich, wenn es Probleme mit den Lehrern gibt, ich diese direkt ansprechen soll und zu den Klassen, dass diese alle voll sind und es keine anderen Plätze mehr gibt. Auf Nachfrage, ob ein Wechsel in eine höhere Klasse möglich ist, da man sich unterfordert fühlt, wird ebenfalls mit den vollen Klassen und dem Argument, dass dies nicht das entsprechende Level sei, vertröstet. Jede Woche kommen jedoch neue Studenten an und werden entsprechend eines minimalistischen Einstufungstests auf die Klassen verteilt; da fragt man sich doch nach der Organisation. Absolute Beginner werden mit Intermediate/IM+ in eine Klasse gesteckt. Eine Lernstandskontrolle findet alle 6 Wochen statt, dies ist definitiv unzureichend. Um Fortschritte festzustellen, ist eine Testung von 3-4 Wochen effektiv. Ein Wechsel in höhere Klassen ist somit so gut wie unmöglich. Dass es auch anders geht, sieht man insbesondere in den Advanced-Klassen, in denen die Lehrer motiviert sind und in engen Gesprächen, auch in den Pausen, mit den Studenten diskutieren und Anregungen/ Korrekturen geben. Auch von den auf der Website angepriesenen "after school Social Programme" fanden in dem Zeitraum von meinen 6 Wochen lediglich am ersten Freitag ein touch rugby learning und ein Run durch die Stadt statt. Von außerschulischer Unterhaltung wird seitens LI nichts angeboten. Auf den extern gebuchten Touren kam ich ins Gespräch mit Studenten anderer Sprachschulen und diese meinten, dass bei ihnen in der Regel jeden Tag (außer)schulische Aktivitäten angeboten werden, mindestens alle 2 Wochen auch ein größeres Event. Ebenso finden regelmäßige Lernstandserhebungen sowie Gespräche statt, mit deren Ergebnissen Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten für einen höheren Abschluss gegeben sind. Meine Fazit für diese Schule ist: Lasst, wenn ihr Englisch lernen wollt, die Finger von dieser Schule. Hier gebt ihr eurer gutes Geld in falsche Hände. Die Schule ist definitiv für eine Erwachsenenbildung (30+) ungeeignet, da sie eher den Anspruch an einen Anschluss an eine schulische Ausbildung erfüllt.
Dear Chris, thanks for your detailed review. We're really sorry that we didn't provide you with the experience you expected at Languages International. We've taken note of the points you make and will make sure that we address these issues as we go forward.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend doing the CELTA teachers training course at Languages International, Lizzie and Nick were great teachers and very experienced.
Thanks very much for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the CELTA course.
Negative experience: The team is friendly, location is nice and the students are amazing, but the education is substandard, I had to change school after two weeks. It may be because of the pandemic, I don't know but it wasn't a successful experiment.
Thanks for your comments, Fahad. We're sorry you didn't have a good experience with us and hope you enjoy the rest of your time in NZ.
Fantastic experience: It was relaxing experience. I booked my OET test there everything was organised well the staff are friendly and the environment was relaxing. Thanks
Thanks for your feedback, Alaa. We're glad you had a good test-day experience. Best of luck for the next steps in your professional journey!

Thank you so much for your feedback, Arjown. We are delighted to hear you had such a good experience here. Thank you for posting these beautiful photos too. We miss seeing your gorgeous photos of Languages International and Auckland each day. We would love for you to come back again! All the best with your future studies and stay in touch!
Positive experience: It was an excellent experience! thanks everyone
Thank you for your feedback, Hatem. We're very happy to hear you had an excellent experience!
Fantastic experience: This school is nearly perfect! …and I know as well other schools in New Zealand. The teachers are all friendly, professional and focused on their work. The location: The school accommodated in 4 historical buildings in a vast park in the center of Auckland. The campus is a part of Albert Park. A very nice and clean park with a lot of relaxing possibilities during lunch time. The breakroom inside the building is as well big enough for all students. The lessons are all well structured. The best part of this school is, in my opinion, the learning center…here you have access to ca. 20 PCs and an excellent library with a tremendous range of books and learning materials designed for each English level. And if you have questions, as well during your free time, that means after your lessons, you can ask one of the teachers who are on duty in the learning center.
Thank you so much, Hans for leaving your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your experience at Languages International!
Fantastic experience: I took the CELTA course in Languages International. It is a great experience indeed!
Thank you very much for leaving a review, Tana! We are very happy to hear you had a great experience on the CELTA course.
Fantastic experience: CELTA course is very useful and my trainers are very professional and helpful.
Thank you for leaving a review! We glad to hear the CELTA course was useful for you.
Fantastic experience: I attended Languages International for my CELTA certificate and had a great time! The tutors are efficient and professional; you will be guaranteed quality learning during every minute of class. They also provide a great balance of criticality and compassion during this intensely academic month. The location of Languages International is in a great, relaxing spot of Auckland City (what a bonus). The high level of support from the tutors also extends to the English language learners. My experience with these students was positive: they are friendly, enthusiastic and considerate of one another. It is clear that Languages International is a positive learning environment for CELTA candidates and English learners alike. I would highly recommend!
Thank you very much for leaving a review, Mitch! We are delighted that you had such a good experience at Languages International.
Fantastic experience: so helpful
Thank you for leaving a review, Diego!
Positive experience: Doesn`t work for IELTS studies, there is no flexibility and the internet is terrible.
Fantastic experience: Great place to study english, convenient place and the staff is always available to answer questions and help the students.
Fantastic experience: 8 years ago I've been improving my English skills at LI...... Such a helpful and awesome time. Social activities are just great.
Fantastic experience: School offers uncountable resourses for students learning or/and improvement to your English language. There are students from all parts of the world, mainly Asians. I really recommend for both general english and IELTS courses. Escola bem estruturada e com todos os recursos que você precisa para estudar, seja o inglês geral ou IELTS test. Recomendo.
