The inlingua method

The inlingua Method is one of the key elements that
contributes to your learning success. It is based on
decades of experience in language training and is
continually being developed to match the needs of a
changing world. The emphasis is on direct
communication through speaking.
Spoken language is emphasized. Language learners
concentrate on their oral competence before turning
their attention to reading and additional listening or
writing skills.
Whether you need a language for business
negotiations or meetings, to pass a language
certificate or just for socializing and shopping, inlingua
has a course for you.
inlingua language trainers ensure that learners
experience the presentation, practice and production
stages of language learning in sequence. Within each
stage, a wide range of different training techniques
and activities are used to keep training sessions
interesting and motivating. The overall amount of time
spent on each of the three stages may vary slightly
according to the topic, vocabulary or structure.

Gastown campus
Our Gastown Campus was built with our
students comfort in mind. Located close
to Waterfront SkyTrain and SeaBus
stations on beautiful Water Street, this
campus is just perfect. With 16
classrooms and a large student lounge,
our beginner and intermediate students
enjoy a wonderful, modern campus.

Granville campus
Granville Campus is located near the
corner of Granville and Robson Street.
Our campus has an excellent location in
the heart of the bustling shopping and
entertainment district, and very close to
Granville SkyTrain station. With 14
classrooms and two nice student
lounges, our upper intermediate and
advanced students enjoy a traditional
campus with a heritage look reflected in
its brick walls, wood flooring, and soft
wall colours.

Messages from our teachers

The University Preparation Course has been designed with the aim of enabling English as Second Language
students to succeed in the competitive environment of post-secondary institutions in North America. The course
provides development for students in key critical thinking and analytic skills as well as creative processes necessary
to excel in academics. Our experienced teaching staff has extensive expertise in not
only academic reading and writing but also in academic vocabulary and grammar skills.
The course consists of intensive reading assignments, a thorough analysis and practice
of various essay styles, a novel study, perfecting oral presentations and learning
effective research methods. The UPC course runs for 12 weeks and each term focuses
on a new set of skills, allowing students to continue to build up their academic abilities.

Teacher, Jacob Pej

Exposure to the language is the best way to practice and improve.
To really improve you need to Study abroad so that you get that
constant exposure to the language. You can hear it, see it, speak it,
and feel it everywhere.
Teacher, Linda J. Suh
"You know, it's a pleasure to be teaching at Inlingua, and I look forward to meeting you and having you in some of my
classes. In terms of your future experience, you can look forward to learning a lot very quickly, and on many interesting
levels. In addition, you might enjoy improving your pronunciation at both the basic, and the high levels. In general,
students who come to Inlingua Vancouver really find themselves enjoying the highly useful English classes. However,
students can also find themselves enjoying all the social and cultural experiences both
Inlingua and Vancouver have to offer, from making new friends and learning about new and
interesting cultures, to visiting all the cool natural places, and spending time with new friends.
You know, sometimes in life it's important to step back and look at the big picture, isn't it? And
the reality of the situation is that a person like yourself can easily learn what they want to at
Inlingua Vancouver, and actually even more than they had originally imagined. In my case, I'm
happy to welcome you to a rapid and successful development of your English skills at Inlingua
Vancouver.
Teacher, Troy Greenall

Welcome to everyone who wants to study English in the great city of

Our Students
After 4 weeks studying at Inlingua I would like to THANK all the teachers that
helped me!! You're great and so helpful, always happy and very friendly. I'll never
forget this experience!!! I hope to see you ASAP! The best school I've studied!!!!!!

Thas Figueiredo

My teacher Arghavan always gave us right practices and homework that we need
to practice, and she also gave decent feedbacks. I thought it is very intensive and
hard course for me, but this was what I needed to go to the next level of my
English skill and I think it helped me a lot to adapt to my college. Ive also used
the study zone a lot after class for my homework and for my applications for
colleges. Inlingua teachers are very friendly and willing to give explanations for
my questions and advices about how to study English.

Da Woon Jeong

Amazing work, awesome teachers. Inlingua has a special place in my life.

Because of it, I was able to changes, have professional and personal benefits.

I think Inlingua Vancouver is one of the best language school. A lot of

wonderful teachers, many students from variety of counties, nice school
activities and so on.
How Inlingua Vancouver helped me: as an Inlingua student, I managed to
improve my English skills rapidly and to reach my goals. All my expectations were
successfully satisfied and I received more than I expected from a language
school.The "English Only Policy" that is obligatory inside the school help me to
break the language barriers and gave me the opportunity to "Speak English
NOW" which is the slogan of this school. Inlingua Vancouver is highly
recommended for all those who want to improve their English skills while having a
lot of fun (maybe this sounds strange but in this school it's true)!

Kawakami Takahisa

I studied at inlingua for 3 months. I had an excellent time there, had lots of fun
and participated in many school activities. The teachers, staff and students were
great. I met a lot of people from all over the world and made many new friends.
Not only did I have fun, but also I improved my English that enabled me to get a
dream job in New York City as a Service Engineer. Thank you inlingua
The first thing I was surprised with is the atmosphere in the school. It's not only
cozy, but also quite friendly when it comes to relationships between students and
teachers. Next noticeable factor is the wide range of teaching methods used by
professionals. These techniques of teaching were pretty new for me since I
haven't experienced that much of entertaining and practical ways of approaching
to everybody in a class.

Accommodation
Homestay
At a Homestay, students live, eat, and socialize with Canadians in a
comfortable environment. We work with professional companies
dedicated to arranging the best accommodation for students in
Vancouver. These companies have a large selection of families
available in Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver and
Burnaby. All municipalities are located within 45 minutes of downtown
Vancouver.
Full board (3 meals), half board (2 meals), single rooms and shared
rooms for couples are all possible in homestay.
Student House
Shared rooms in a student house / dormitory located in North Burnaby
but still zone 1 bus fare, about 35 minutes away from downtown
Vancouver. This is a good option for independent students who want to
live with other international students from inlingua, know how to cook,
understand the rules and limitations of sharing a space with others and
are over 19 years old. Our student house accommodates 20
international students, all of them attending inlingua, and is a good
alternative if you are independent, happy and fun.
Suites
Private rooms or shared rooms in houses are also available. Our suites
are carefully selected by our accommodation coordinators to ensure a
good location, within 45 minutes of downtown Vancouver, and a clean
and safe living environment.
This option is ideal for the student who would like to prepare their own
meals, have minimal contact with their host family. It will give you more
privacy and freedom than homestay. Students live in a separate suite,
independent from the host family, and share the suite with other
students. Normally there is a separate entrance to their suite. Suites
have their own kitchen, bathroom and common area, shared among
students. Student Suites are for students 19 years or older.
