Testimonials

What Culture Shock educators and users are saying

Adapts to teaching and learning

“It mimics my learning style and teaching style—you have authentic content to focus on learning, and when you come across something confusing, that's the moment to dive into it.”

Jacob

Learning Portuguese after moving to Lisbon.

Increases immersion

“When it comes to Duolingo or Rosetta Stone, it doesn’t really give the same experience. I'm just parroting. But with Culture Shock, it's forcing me to be in a conversation and that is super helpful at increasing immersion, you know?”

Kailey

Learning Spanish to help with community outreach.

Interest-focused coursework

“I went in and had a conversation about going to a concert on Friday, and [Culture Shock] created a course for me! Then you're sort of having a conversation that you might have with somebody about the concert that you went to.”
