Our School

SORBONA is a modern language school situated in the heart of Lodz in

central Poland. Foreign languages are our passion and therefore we are fully

committed to our work. Our teachers, both Polish and foreign native

speakers, hold professional degrees in philology or linguistics of the languages

they teach and have vast experience in teaching.

Each course has been designed based on our internal teaching methods, which

focus on all aspects of learning a foreign language. We pay equal attention to

speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and phonetics. We are aware of

the advantages of recently very fashionable communicative methods of

teaching languages and as such we implement elements of them into our

courses. Nevertheless, we believe that it is necessary to combine these methods

with grammar or phonetics to effectively teach a language and for our students

to acquire fluency in them.

We are a partner of ETS (Educational Testing Service), the largest testing

organization in the world, a leader in the creation of objective and reliable

certification of language and tools supporting the learning of foreign

languages.
