What Our Students Say
Manhattan Language is proud to welcome students from around the world.
Manhattan Language uses the Communicative Approach in all of its language courses. Students speak only English from the first day. Our classes are lively and focus on real communication. This makes learning English an interactive, rewarding and enjoyable experience. Over the years, Manhattan Language has helped thousands of students achieve their academic, professional, and personal goals.
I truly felt welcomed into a warm, family-like atmosphere from day one. The teachers were always supportive, motivated, and genuinely cared about helping every student improve and feel confident. Their positive energy made classes enjoyable and something I always looked forward to.
What made the experience even more special were all the activities organized by the school. Friday Discovery and the Happy Hours helped me so much because I got to meet students from different countries, spend time with teachers outside the classroom, and even connect with former students and staff members. Those moments made me feel included, helped me improve my English more naturally, and gave me memories I will never forget. I still remember my first hockey game through one of those activities, and honestly, it became one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.
The admissions team was also incredibly kind, professional, and always ready to help whenever needed. Studying at ML felt much more than joining a school. It truly felt like becoming part of a second family, and I will always be grateful for everything I experienced there.

“When I was looking for schools in NYC that had TOEFL classes, I coincidentally came across Manhattan Language. I had no idea it was such a good school! I’ve been to other language schools, but this was a different experience. I really liked the atmosphere. Everyone is so friendly and energetic, both teachers and students! Also, the environment is good for studying.
I remember when I was applying for my Master’s degree and needed to answer a lot of emails. My teacher, Anthony, helped me a lot to fix the grammar and make my expressions sound more natural. Susie and Michael always encouraged me when I was nervous speaking, and I found the writing exercises in Douglas’ class really useful. In the end, I was accepted to my dream school – Pratt Institute! I am so thankful for my experience at Manhattan Language. It was the best experience I’ve had in New York!”

“I highly recommend Manhattan Language for anyone who would like to learn English in a lovely and effective way. I remember how fascinated I was when I first got here with how everyone was so incredibly friendly and ambitious. Concerning the personnel, I have studied with almost every teacher and loved them all!! I love their teaching style the most, every single one of them has a different method of teaching. Also, administrators are extremely kind and helpful.
What’s more, I have been studying at the school for almost 4 months and my English has been improving ever since. Thanks to this amazing, wonderful, and astonishing school, I got the IELTS score I needed, YAY!!!. Lastly, if you ever decide to attend the school, I would advise you to participate in their fabulous activities.”

“I am so happy that I joined the IELTS program at Manhattan Language. The teacher Ellen is a very nice person and also an expert in the IELTS exam. Everything she taught me in the different sections (reading, writing, listening and speaking) was so useful for my English practice and also for my actual IELTS test. After 5 weeks of study and practice, I took the IELTS TEST and was able to get a 6.5 score. It’s amazing for me because before I joined Manhattan Language, I was only able to score 5.5. I am so thankful for both the program and my teacher for helping me make such a big improvement.”

“All the teachers really care about the students, so the conversations that we had in the class were always interesting and not robotic English exercises. I’ve been to three language schools and Manhattan Language is by far the best.” – Yu-Lin (William)

“I learned so much in the Business English Class at Manhattan Language. The class is always interesting because the teacher Anthony is very knowledgeable and gives a lot of examples and stories from his own experience. This class helped me improve my English and I also learned a lot about the Business field. I had many opportunities to meet different students from different professional backgrounds, and it grew my interest in starting a career in Business. As a result, I decided to go back to school to study Business. I’m thankful to Manhattan Language for helping me improve my English and also helping me apply for an MBA. Now I will be starting an MBA program at Mercy College this Fall!!”

“I’ve been studying English for almost 20 years, and I’ve never made the kind of progress that I did this past year at Manhattan Language. Because of this, I am so grateful to this school and to all the wonderful people that make up this school – teachers, staff, and students. All of the teachers are amazing and I can honestly say that I’ve learned something from each one of them. However, I give an extra special mention to Larry. He has been my teacher the majority of the time I’ve spent here, and I’ve enjoyed each class that I’ve had with him. Larry is a very special person with a beautiful soul. He loves what he does and you can feel it every day in his class.”
