Expats in Albania
Are you an expat living in Albania, trying to navigate daily life without speaking the language?
We understand the challenge! English works well up to a point and beyond that, things can become really difficult.
But don’t worry, we have got you covered!
Why do Expats in Albania want to learn Albanian?
Many Expats in Albania reach a point where learning Albanian becomes the logical choice.
For the first few months it’s easy to get by just speaking English – sure it’s inconvenient at times, but hey, you just overpay for that service, and get on with your day. Or you just NOT make that doctor’s appointment for another few months until you get back home.
But at some point you want to live life like a normal human again – and that includes being independent, accessing all of the services that make your life better and NOT paying double the price for it – because you can’t speak Albanian.
And that’s the point when most Expats in Albania decide to commit to learning Albanian and reach out to us.
What do Expats in Albania need to do to start speaking Albanian?
Each person’s situation is unique, and it’s important to establish what you know already, what your goals are and how you personally learn best.
For this we offer a free consultation call, so that we can help you put a learning plan together. Because learning a language without a plan is like driving without a map.
If you’re still a total beginner and you really don’t know anything, then a good option is to get started with our Albanian Beginner Level 1 Course, here you will learn the foundational language basics that you need to build on with future courses. You can then follow this up with the Level 2 course.
You also have the option to add 1:1 lessons at a discounted price to supplement the course, practice and get personalised feedback.
The second component to learning a language is to speak to people out in the wild so to say – so it’s time to commit to practicing Albanian every day. Asking for something at the shop? Ask in Albanian. Making a food order? Order in Albanian. (Tip: Learn how to tell people that you’re foreign but learning Albanian and THEN say what you need to say, people will pay attention and often speak slower and they won’t switch to English either if they speak it).
What if I need to get fluent in Albanian very quickly for work or personal reasons?
No problem!
We offer an intensive program over 20 lessons where we combine our course materials with 1:1 teaching to get you fluent as quickly as possible.
Please book a call here to learn more about it.
Why do so many Expats in Albania learn Albanian with us?
Many expats in Albania are business owners or freelancers and work late hours to accommodate other time zones, others have important jobs with functions in the evenings, so attending regular classes isn’t always an option for them.
Learning Albanian with us has many benefits:
✅ Get started with one of our self-study courses that you can complete in your own time
✅ Save time by combining lessons with the self-study course so you’re only booking lessons when you need them
✅ Prepare before you arrive in Albania by studying from wherever you are right now
✅ Fit 1:1 lessons around your personal schedule
✅ Learn at your pace – don’t get slowed down by the group
