Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Berlitz Flex and Berlitz On Demand

  • Berlitz Flex is a flexible online language learning programme that combines self-paced study with live coaching sessions. It is designed for learners who want the freedom to study on their own schedule while still receiving structured guidance and feedback from Berlitz instructors.

  • Berlitz On Demand is a fully self-paced online language learning programme. Learners study independently through interactive lessons, videos, and speech recognition tools, making it a good option for those who want maximum flexibility.

  • Berlitz On Demand Plus builds on the Berlitz On Demand self-paced experience by adding live conversation practice, either through group conversation classes and/or private conversation classes, depending on the programme setup.

  • The main difference is in the type of live support.

    • Berlitz Flex includes live coaching sessions that are directly connected to the learner’s recent self-paced lessons.
    • Berlitz On Demand Plus includes conversation classes that focus on speaking practice, but are not directly tied to the specific lesson content the learner has just completed.

    In short:

    • Berlitz Flex = more guided and structured
    • Berlitz On Demand Plus = more independent and flexible

  • A placement test is included at the beginning of the course to help identify the most appropriate starting level for each learner.

    This allows you to begin your programme at a level that matches your current language ability, giving you a more effective and comfortable learning experience from day one.

  • Yes. Both products are based on an All You Can Learn model, which means learners can move across levels during the licence period once the required level completion conditions are met.

  • Unlike many app-only solutions, Berlitz online learning is designed around a more structured language-learning path and real communication outcomes.

    Depending on the product you choose, you may also receive:

    • instructor-led coaching
    • live conversation practice
    • clearer progression through levels
    • a learning experience based on the Berlitz Method

  • Yes. Berlitz Flex and Berlitz On Demand use the same core curriculum, including self-paced lessons designed around clear level progression and practical speaking goals.

    The main difference is not the curriculum itself, but how you learn with it:

    • Berlitz Flex combines the curriculum with live coaching sessions
    • Berlitz On Demand gives you access to the same self-paced learning content in a fully independent format
    • Berlitz On Demand Plus adds live conversation practice on top of the self-paced programme

    For Berlitz Flex, the speaking goals at each level are aligned with Berlitz private and group programmes, so the curriculum is designed to support consistent language development across formats.
