FAQS
How much will I learn during the course?
What will I learn?
Our Course Outlines give an overview of the content and learning framework of Lextorah part-time group courses and include themes, grammar and vocabulary you can typically expect to cover. These are intended as a guide only and our teachers may at times adapt the course content to suit the specific level, aims and interests of the class.
What progress will I have made by the end of the level?
Our ‘Can Do’ Statements provide a guide as to what you can expect to achieve at each level and also show what progress you can expect to make if you stick with it and carry on studying subsequent levels. These are guides only and other factors will affect your rate of progress, e.g. your prior language skills and base level, how proficient you are at picking up new languages, your level of participation in class and revision (and homework) outside of class. It will partially also depend on how difficult (or dissimilar) the language you are learning is (from your native language).
How do you choose your teachers?
All our teachers are native or bilingual speakers and fluent in the language they teach. They have specialist qualifications and experience in Teaching a Foreign Language to Children, Teens and Adults.
Do teachers speak English during the Lessons?
The first month is a mixture of both languages. The second month is the language of study only because the most effective way to learn or improve your language skills is through complete immersion in the language. However, the occasional explanation or vocabulary term may be explained in English, and teachers are very used to teaching – and making themselves understood by – students who may have little or no prior knowledge of the language.
Do I receive a Certificate at the end of the course?
At the end of your course with us, you either receive a certificate of participation or a certificate of completion, sent to you by email or you collect it in person. This confirms the language and level of course you have taken. Our certifcates are recognised in Nigeria and Africa. For Universally accepted certifcates, we advise students to sit for foreign exam(s) that qualifies them for an internationally recognised certificate, which will be issued to them upon passing the exam(s).
Will I be issued course materials or a copy of the CD/Listening materials that are used in the class??
When you enrol for any our couses you will be issued course materials. However, we do recommend textbooks at times as the course demands, in such a case, you will have to buy the textbook at the school bookstore.
Please note that some course materials covers more than one level. So if you progress to the next course, you may not necessarily be issued a new course material. Again, we will advise you of this at the time.
The course materials and textbooks are chosen by our teachers and academic team based on which book is most suitable for the level of the class whilst offering the most communicative approach.

Will I get a copy of the CD / listening materials that are used in the class?
No, our coursebook CDs are designed to be used in class and with a teacher; they are not designed for self study. However, if you would like to buy a copy of the listening material that goes with your coursebook, you can either order online at our bookstore,
How much homework is typically involved?
Your teacher will give you approximately one hour’s worth of formal homework per week but we would recommend you do thirty minutes per day of self study in order to assimilate and retain the information you are learning.
What should I do if my course is too easy or difficult for me?
If you have just completed your first lesson and are feeling a little overwhelmed, then don’t worry. Lextorah language courses are taught in the target language, as full immersion is widely recognised as the most effective way to learn a language. You may find this a little daunting at first, especially if you have previously been used to bi-lingual tuition.
However, if you are attending an 8-week course and find that you are really struggling to keep up, or finding the course content too easy, you can switch classes up until your 3rd lesson. Please speak to your teacher and contact us. We will assess the situation and look to move you to a class more suited to your ability (subject to availability).

What do I do if I am going to miss a lesson during the course?

The tutors teach at an understandable rate. not too fast or too slow. The materials are self-explanatory. I enjoy every class. Right now I am learning sentence building, positions of verbs and nouns in sentences in Deutsch (German) language. Ich besinne jede Klasse und mein Lehrer ist sehr gut.
Pablo BBusiness Professional -
At Lextorah, where I learnt French, my tutor, M. Phidias, was amazing and always so diligent in making sure my understanding was not shallow, but as deep as possible. All the exercises and assignments given are always systemically in line with the teaching to ensure full grasp of the language. The teaching mechanisms are up to date with excellent study materials such as textbooks and DVDs. I always felt so welcome when I arrived every day. Je Suis tres heureux mon Choix etait Lextorah, malheuresement il est seul cinq semaines.

Solomon RichmanBusiness man -
Chinese class has been great, lots to learn and sometimes the thought of that makes it seem all too hard and impossible to learn but overtime with constant practice it started to make a whole lotta sense. i've been able to learn more of the greetings, numbers and ways of communicating basically and with more practice i'm certain Chinese would be more fluent for me, many thanks to Lextorah for this medium. xie xie, zaijian.
