An innovative method to teaching foreign languages, one that would give a "feel" for the language from the very first lesson. Fast, intense and very effective. The most natural way to acquire conversation skills. The student is exposed to a barrage of foreign sounds from the first minutes of a lesson. Because there is little or no time to analyze, the Intuitive Method forces the student to "guess," which is the goal desired, so that idiomatic expressions and grammatical points need not be formally introduced. Soon, the student thinks in the language during the day, and dreams about it at night. That's fluency!

ExL offers a wide range of courses. The super intensive Capsule Program provides a fast alternative for the very busy executive; the standard Intensive Program offers a less concentrated approach; Private lessons are ideal for the business person who has no time constraint; Group instruction is for the occasional user on a limited budget. Other specialized services include the vitally important Cultural Orientation Program and ESL.

Student/teacher relationships are the utmost importance in any learning situation. The personable ExL instructors are trained in the Intuitive Method, they're accustomed to the fine art of interpersonal communication between peoples of different national origins.

ExL was founded in 1992 by a professional teacher with over twenty-five years experience in foreign language training and cultural orientation programs. He had the benefit of working for the world's largest language schools. It wasn't difficult for him to isolate the weakness of these organizations and recognize a significant "gap" in their programming and methods. Thus, ExL was created to offer an alternative to the certain arrogance, the stale approach to teaching of an old organization, or the sporadic quality found with franchises.
