«Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich mit über 60 nochmal so viel Spass am Lernen haben würde. Im PLL-Spanischkurs fühle ich mich rundum wohl – wir lachen viel, und unsere Lehrerin geht auf unser Tempo ein. Jetzt traue ich mich sogar, im Urlaub die Einheimischen anzusprechen!»
Monika H.
«I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. After some years of English lessons at PLL, I have to say that you are the best English teacher I have ever had. You always strive to get the best out of us and teach us English with great passion. I am looking forward to continuing our English lessons next year.»
Mr. D. Head of Logistics
«Während der Schulzeit, die einige Zeit hinter mir liegt, hatte ich keinen besonderen Zugang zu Fremdsprachen. Ich konnte letztes Jahr die Grammatik trotz meiner vorhandenen Skepsis gut lernen und die Konversation macht mir viel Spass.»

About us
Progressive Language Learning AG
Languages have always brought me closer to people. I grew up in the bilingual canton of Fribourg and attended a French-speaking nursery, followed by a German-speaking primary school and a German-speaking secondary school.
When I was 17, I spent a year living in the USA, where I got to know American culture and improved my English. Later, I worked at the national Erasmus agency, where I experienced first-hand how languages bring people together, broaden horizons and shape the course of people’s lives.
These experiences have stayed with me to this day and have motivated me to take over the PLL Language School in Liestal. I would like to pass on the same gift to other people and businesses: access to new languages, cultures and opportunities.
Our teaching approach is also based on this principle, enabling you and company staff to learn English, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Swiss German with us.
