Foreign Languages Department
The Tennessee Foreign Language Institute offers foreign language classes
to fit your specific needs. Whether it's a group class, a custom (private) class, a workplace class that focuses on job-specific terms, a short-term class to prepare for a trip, we can assist! Group classes in 10 commonly-requested languages are offered at various levels. If you require instruction in an uncommon language or your schedule does not permit you to join a regularly-scheduled group class, just ask! TFLI has an impressive network of teachers to instruct you on a custom basis.
Why choose TFLI?
Quality and individual attention! With over 20 years providing foreign
language instruction, we know what works.
All of our teachers are trained native or near-native speakers who teach
because they love teaching.
Since we are small, our class-size is small, which means you get the
individual attention that is so important to learning a language. You'll never get lost in the crowd.
Our curriculum and methodology are designed to get you to
communicate quickly and effectively in your language of choice.
We are non-accredited, so our teachers have the flexibility to move
at the pace of the students and to create opportunities to have fun in class as we learn to communicate. Fun and flexibility are not usually a feature of colleges or university-level foreign language classes but is the key to what makes
TFLI classes different and what keeps our students coming back as they work towards fluency.
TFLI believes passionately in the importance of learning a foreign language and in the rich opportunities created when a second, third or fourth language is acquired. Contact us at
