| Lesson Formats |
|
| Day, Time and Location |
| Busy professionals and their families need flexibility in order to get the most out of their language training. That is why clients choose the day, time and location of their lessons. A dedicated account manager is assigned to each client to ensure instructor match and positive course progression. |
| |
| Course Levels |
| 30 hours constitutes 1 level of language training. The most popular course choices are 30 hours and 60 hours. Assessments are available to measure progress in the target language and the specific skills desired in that language. Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced levels are available.
Classes usually meet one or two times a week for 1.5 to 2 hours each time. Classes are offered at the client's preferred location and clients choose the days and times best suited to their schedule. |

| Course Modes |
|
|
| |
| Private Lessons |
| For those with very specific learning needs, or with schedules too busy to partake in other group classes, private lessons work very well. Private lessons are also suitable for students who have an interest and drive to excel in language and cultural learning above that of their peers. |
| |
| Small Group Lessons |
| Small groups are ideal for six or fewer individuals with a specific learning goal in mind. Students of similar language proficiency levels are often placed in small group lessons together. |
| |
| Large Group Lessons (6+ individuals) |
| Training classes for large groups can be offered at corporate sites or training centers around the world. Large group lessons are optimal for corporate training initiatives or groups of individuals moving overseas to a similar region. |
| |
| Expatriate Lessons |
| Moving to another country is stressful. Easing that stress through cultural and language training is where Akorbi comes in. Akorbi helps expatriates and their families feel at ease, so everyone can adjust well and be as productive and comfortable as possible in new surroundings.

| Spouse Lessons |
| Spouses are welcome to join the employee in training, but due to scheduling or differing language levels, spouses often need the option of their own class. In addition, spouses are often living in a very different world from the employee. While the employee is at work in a business environment, the spouse is at home, sometimes in isolation, without people giving constant advice. With this in mind, it is important for the spouse to have training that specifically addresses "everyday" situations, so that when they arrive, they know as much as possible to be successful.

| Children's Lessons |
12Children learn very differently from adults. That is why Akorbi provides instructors trained to work with children who engage them in age-appropriate ways. From language to cultural training, friendly and experienced instructors guide children through the levels of language proficiency.
For children of expatriating families, instructors employ role playing to simulate school, grocery store, and public transportation situations, for example, so that children are as prepared as possible for their new life overseas. The more comfortable children and family are before and upon arriving in the new surroundings, the more quickly the family can adjust and the more productive the family's employee can be to his or her company.

| Immersion Lessons |
| Learn the fundamentals of a language -- in anywhere from one week to six months. To meet the needs of busy professionals, Akorbi offers two-hour, four-hour or eight-hour sessions, and clients choose the day, time and location. Additionally immersion lessons are offered anywhere in the world, from Seattle to Singapore. |
| |
| Virtual Lessons |
| For individuals in different locations around the world, Akorbi can conference students in to take classes with the same instructor. This method is useful when some team members move but still need to keep up their language or cultural skills with the team. |
