Travel Snapshots: In Their Own Words

David and Susanne Drescher

Buon Viaggio (Italy)
     
My wife and I travel to Europe often and speak French, Spanish, and German—but we had no background in Italian. Rather than hacking our way through with a mix of English and other languages, we decided to try the Buon Viaggio Italian for Travelers course from Speak!
It was the perfect way to quickly get up to speed on essential verbs, phrases, and basic conversations before our summer trip to Italy. If you're looking to go from zero to functional Italian in just a few weeks, this course is a much better option than an app like Duolingo. With Speak!, you get structured content, a live instructor, real interaction with other students—and more.

Ann Marie

Buon Viaggio (Italy)
     
I'm heading to Italy for a month and took a few private lessons with Christina through the Buon Viaggio course, part of the Travel Series at Speak!—and it was amazing. I expected to learn some travel phrases, but ended up getting a full crash course in Italian language and culture. Christina customized everything to my trip, from cities and transportation to food and local tips.
She even showed me pictures of train stations and real menus, which was super helpful. The Speak! site is full of videos, recordings, and great practice tools. I highly recommend it—it’s not just a class, it’s a full travel prep experience!

Julie

Buen Viaje/Spanish Pasaporte (Argentina)
     
The Group classes have been so much fun ! Learning Argentinian Spanish and all about the culture has definitely enhanced my experience in Buenos Aires. I highly recommend Speak! to anyone wanting learn Spanish for general communication and/or travel.

Mark Cave

Bon Voyage (France)
     
Speak!'s Bon Voyage course was trés magnifique! If you're looking for a pre-travel orientation, this course hits all the right notes: destinations, rituals, customs, etymology, history, language, and an all-important introduction to the French café and restaurant. Expertly taught and thoughtfully conceived, Bon Voyage will be a key component in your travel toolkit. A++ recommendation.

Laurie Coble

Buon Viaggio (Italy)
     
I was so glad that I had taken Speak!'s Buon Viaggio Italian course, as much for learning about the cultural norms as for language practice. I was able to truly experience Italy and make the most of our time there. Being prepared in terms of understanding the culture allowed me to focus on painting some of the incredible views of Toscana. Grazie mille!

Susanne Drescher

Buen Viaje (South America)
     
Having a foundation in Spanish gave me the confidence to connect with locals. At an estancia on horseback, I practiced with my hosts and picked up new words. People really appreciated the effort—whether I was at a café, a produce stand, or in an Uber. Speaking even just a little of the local language made the whole experience more meaningful.
Franco is a fantastic teacher. His deep understanding of both Spanish and English grammar really stood out, and he customized our lessons to help me prepare for my trip to Uruguay.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Do these courses involve live instruction or are they recorded/asynchronous?

All of our courses center around live lessons with a Speak! Teacher. The hours listed with each course type refer to the hours of live instruction (5, 8, 10, 12) with a dynamic language+culture instructor. We believe that meaningful learning happens when humans speak with humans. We also know that travelers and students new to a language have lots of questions!!

Do your travel courses include homework?

Yes! Our platform includes fun cultural and language activities that you can do in-between your live lessons to reinforce what you’re learning and give you a chance to get personalized feedback from your teacher as you go. Our online academy also includes a discussion board so that you can ask questions and share your own travel tips with the community.

Can I learn with my travel partner or travel group?

Yes! You and your travel partners can either join a scheduled Speak! Group course or sign up for a semi-private (2 people) or custom group course (up to 8). If you take a semi-private or custom group class, we can adapt to your pace as well as your specific itinerary.

What’s the difference between the short (5 hr) vs. longer (8-12 hr) courses?

The 5 hour mini courses are ideal for those who just want to learn greetings, pronunciation and ask some travel-related questions. Additionally, the 5 hour course includes some of our self-study materials and travel tips. We recommend the 8+ hour course to most everyone as it includes more of the language and gives you a chance to practice!

Will I have the opportunity to continue learning the language after this course is over?

Yes! We would be delighted to continue teaching you if you wish to learn more of the language than is offered in this travel course. You can simply register for a package of 10 or more hours of individual lessons, or semi-private if you have a learning buddy.
