Picking up a new language can be daunting without the proper environment and methods. Lingo is designed to help you master a language in all aspects – whether it's listening, reading, speaking, or writing.
We may be a local language centre in Singapore, but the language courses we offer are truly global. We teach a wide variety of languages, with a focus on conversational skills. Our languages taught include English, Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean, Bahasa Indonesian, Malay, German, Italian, Turkish, Spanish, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabic, Hebrew, Cantonese, Russian, Burmese, Hindi, Filipino and many others. All our teachers are highly qualified and experienced native speakers so you can be assured of learning the most accurate form of language.
We provide examination preparation programs tailored to your skill level and objectives for the following tests: IELTS (English), DELE (Spanish), DELF (French), CELI (Italian), TESTDAF (German), CAPLE (Portuguese), HSK (Chinese), JLPT (Japanese), TOPIK (Korean), UKBI (Indonesian), SKBMW (Malay), and TPT (Thai).
Choose from private, semi-private, group classes, or virtual online lessons to embark on your language learning journey. To ensure quality instruction, each class accommodates only 1-10 students, guaranteeing individual attention for every learner. Additionally, we offer corporate training programs for both private sector and civil service entities in Singapore.

The Common European Framework divides learners into three broad divisions that can each be further divided into two levels; for each level, it describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing. The following table indicates these levels. A more thorough description of each level, with criteria for listening, reading, speaking, and writing, is available on the Internet.
