Provider Description

What We're About

We know from experience that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to education. Learning a language is about forging your own path at your pace in an environment that, not only encourages, but inspires you. In fact, that is the beauty of it and why we are so passionate about sharing that. We offer group classes for adults and private instruction for students of all ages. In every instance, our goal is to help our students craft a program that best meets their learning needs. In addition to our regular private and group classes, we provide programs for schools, corporations and government agencies as well as dialect coaching for film, television and theater.

Some Highlights of Our Group Programs:

  • Flexible Enrollment Packages: We offer 6, 8 and 12-week packages for most of our group classes so you can decide how long you want to study.
  • On-Going Classes: Once a group class starts, it is ongoing as long as there are enough students.
  • Easy Change Policy: If you find that the pace or schedule of your class is not working for you, no problem! With our open admission policy we are almost always able to find an alternate class for you no matter where you are in your enrollment package.

Who We Are

Founders: ABC Languages has been teaching New Yorkers 20+ languages for over 20 years. ABC was founded by polyglots and language enthusiasts Elizabeth Lunney Zackheim and Rachel Meyer who set out to create a place where students want to learn and teachers want to teach. ABC now serves thousands of students every year in New York, San Francisco, Menlo Park, Westchester/Fairfield Counties, New Jersey, Boston and Washington DC.

About Our Students: At ABC, your goals and your learning process are our priority. Some students come looking for a quick course to prepare for a trip. Others just want to spend a few months gaining or refreshing language skills or dive in for a 25-hour per week intensive in preparation for a move abroad. Then others are here to make this an ongoing practice for self-enrichment. The point is, this is your journey and every single person at ABC Languages wants to help you facilitate that journey.

About Our Teachers: Our teachers are our community and we are lucky and proud to work with such a wonderful, talented and international group of people.  ABC teachers are passionate about what they do. Most of our 100+ instructors have been working with us for more than 5 years. Every single one brings their own flavor and the best of themselves to the classroom. Having multiple methods at their disposal enables them to design a creative and learner-centric environment where they can have a direct dialogue with you, the student, and cater their approach to meet your particular learning needs and goals.

  • Russian - Total Beginner

    Michele F. • June 10, 2025
    I'm really enjoying my class with Dmitry! He's great at explaining the grammar behind Russian and helping students to work on their pronunciation. I am learning a lot in this course.
  • Spanish Beginner 3

    Anna F. • April 8, 2025
    This class was fantastic! It's all about Allan as his expertise and kind personality takes center stage throughout the class. The way class is structured was so helpful. Students dive into the deep end of the proverbial pool since Allan will speak mostly Spanish and everyone is prompted to read and encouraged to participate. The small and large group activities throughout the class were helpful and it's a nice plus to socialize with new people. The Manhattan Language school is great as well with their customer service and intimate office (school..) layout! Highly recommend if you are committed to learning. If you know you'll miss classes please consider joining another time so other students can sit in instead! So excited to join Spanish Beginner 2 next week!

    Ximena is an excellent teacher! She made learning Spanish easy and fun. I’ve had trouble learning Spanish in the past, but she was extremely clear and made speaking feel easy.

    The school was very flexible, amazing teachers, and very simple and affordable to get started with Course Horse. I started out attending in-person class but then I wanted to switch to online classes. They did that for me without any problem. The professors were patient and supportive.
  • Arabic - Total Beginner

    Anonymous • December 26, 2023
    Unfortunately the teacher was not very flexible or good with beginners. There was little opportunity to understand how a pronunciation was incorrect, the words were just repeated at the same speed over and over and so students had little improvement. Class exercises were seldom and ineffectively used. I got more from self study of the book than I did from class. Can’t recommend this teacher and I am continuing my Arabic studies at another language school.

    Our teacher, Angel Haya, was extremely engaging and interactive. He did an amazing job with following up with our class to provide homework and make the class a fun and educational experience.

    I love every minute of the learning experience with Clara. Clara esta inteligente e interesante. I learned how to pronunce the words correctly, I learned how to conjugate verbs "estar" and "ser". I learned many new useful Spanish words that I intent to use in my work settings. I like it so much that I am signing up for more lessons.

    The class was interesting and low stress. The instructor was friendly and patient. She knew just the right moments to drop in with a helpful tip or correction. She also always provided the reason for the correction.

    The instructor was great. The class was small, only 2 students including me. I appreciated the immediate feedback and corrections as well as the dialogue. I will take another class soon.
