Frequently Asked Questions

Below you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our classes at Zinta

How much time do I have to invest in learning a language?

Making language learning a habit is key. Short, consistent practice sessions can be much more effective than long study marathons. Engaging with the material just three times a week for just 10-15 minutes can help reinforce vocabulary and concepts without feeling overwhelmed. We encourage students to integrate language into their daily routines—like listening to music, watching shows, or even labeling items around the house—to make it more enjoyable and natural. Consistency is the secret ingredient!

How are your classes structured and what are all the costs associated with your classes?

We offer a variety of language classes tailored to meet individual student needs. Our group classes are highly interactive and conversational, featuring short, easy-to-understand lessons paired with enjoyable practice activities. We focus on creating a relaxed environment to ensure students build the necessary skills without stress.

  • Adult Large Group Classes: Up to 10 students, starting at $35 for 1.5-hour sessions.
  • Adult Small Group Classes: Up to 3 students, starting at $35 for 1-hour sessions.

Where do I find a schedule of upcoming classes?

We continually launch new classes each week to accommodate our students’ diverse scheduling and language needs. While we don’t list specific schedules due to this flexibility, we offer a variety of options, including:

  • Weekly Adult Group Classes: Available in both large and small settings
  • Individual Adult and Youth Classes: Tailored to your needs
  • Industry-Specific Classes: Focused on professional language skills
  • Youth Group Classes: Designed for younger learners
  • In-Person and Live-Virtual Options: Convenient formats to suit your preference

If you have specific timing requirements, we can arrange a session with an instructor at your convenience. Please contact us to inquire about our upcoming classes!

How much will I need to know in advance? Is there a placement test?

If you’ve taken language classes before, we offer a quick 5-minute placement test to help determine the best fit for you. If you find that your current class is moving too fast or too slow, we’re happy to transfer you to a class that better aligns with your learning pace. Your comfort and progress are our top priorities!

Why should I choose Zinta when there are other, free alternatives?

Zinta offers a comprehensive curriculum designed to guide students toward fluency from beginning to end. We recognize that many students hit roadblocks during the early stages, especially in free classes, because becoming bilingual involves much more than just memorizing words and grammar.

Understanding that intermediate and advanced learners have different needs, we tailor our approach accordingly. With over 24 years of experience, we have a proven track record of transforming students into confident bilingual communicators.

Our program encompasses language, culture, and interpersonal communication, equipping you with everything needed for real conversations. Don’t get stuck “studying” the language—start speaking now and unlock your potential!
