Origins of the Berlitz Method

Like many great inventions born from chance, the Berlitz Method was also created unexpectedly. The method’s founder, Maximilian Berlitz, was working as an educator in Providence, USA, when he found himself in need of an assistant. He hired a young Frenchman named Joly. However, it was only upon Joly’s arrival in the United States that Berlitz discovered Joly couldn’t speak a word of English.

At the time, Berlitz was in poor health and reluctantly asked Joly to temporarily take over his classes. Since Joly couldn’t speak English, he had to teach American students in French, relying heavily on gestures and linguistic nuances to convey meaning.

Six weeks later, when Berlitz returned to teaching, he expected his students to have fallen behind. To his surprise, the students had made remarkable progress, mastering French and actively engaging with Joly. Immersed in an environment where only French was spoken, the students’ language skills had rapidly improved.

This unexpected success inspired Berlitz to conduct extensive research, leading to the development of the innovative Berlitz Method, which has since revolutionized language learning worldwide.
