Berlitz Corporation Business Opportunities: Other Information
Maximilian Berlitz was a language professor of French and German. Berlitz hired an assistant, Nicholas Joly, to teach French. The problem was that Joly spoke almost no English. Therefore, he taught his French students almost entirely in French. His students ended up loving this immersion program of sorts and Berlitz adopted the teaching method into his own classes, creating a new way of instructing foreign languages.
