About Languages & Beyond
Our Story
Travel, curiosity to learn about different cultures and building meaningful relationships across the globe led us into the world of languages.
After our stints in the corporate world, we obtained international diplomas in Spanish (C1 & B2 levels according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Foreign Languages) to turn our avocation into a vocation and to further the idea of global citizenship.
Having learnt and taught the language, participated in European immersion programmes and represented a prominent European language school, we realized that language learning in India needs to be holistic and not merely restricted to classrooms for learners to be truly global. We synergized and set up Languages & Beyond to:
- Provide European Framework-compliant language programs
- Develop love for languages among young learners
- Foster intercultural understanding and tolerance
- Make language learning fun, practical and not classroom confined
- Bridge the gap between learning the language and implementing the learning in the real world
