Berlitz International, Inc. was founded in 1878 by Maximilian D. Berlitz in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. He discovered and developed Berlitz Method, a system of language teaching that today is still the basis for the world-famous Berlitz courses.

Nowadays Berlitz is a subsidiary of Benesse Corporation, a leading Japanese publisher of correspondence courses and other educational materials. Berlitz and Benesse together are uniquely positioned to provide for the language needs - -instruction, and publishing- - of the global marketplace.

The Berlitz Method® teaches you a new language the same way you learned your first - -naturally, through conversation. At Berlitz, you won't have to memorize vocabulary or conjugate verbs like you did in high school. From the moment the lesson begins, you will only hear your target language. This direct method allows you to pick up vocabulary and grammar in their proper context without translating and with the least amount of effort
