Bonjour!¡Hola!
I am Nicole Weissman founder of You Can Speakit, a woman owned business based in Chicago.
You Can Speak It is your best option for learning French or Spanish (or both, pourquoi pas?) from anywhere in the world. Here you will appreciate passionate teaching and cultural relevance with a personal touch.
​
I offer an innovative method to learning languages with a unique approach to classes differentiating from those of high school, college and other language institutions where you would spend more time studying the language than actually using it.
​
All levels are offered : beginner, intermediate, advanced.
You can start at anytime and move at your own pace.
​
Reasons to learn a new language:
