Henry Harvin stands out for learning new languages like Dutch, Spanish, or Swedish due to its comprehensive School of Languages offering 19+ options with CEFR-aligned levels from beginner to advanced.

Using shared alphabets, cognates, and relatively simple structures, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Portuguese, Romanian, French, German, Malay Swahili set the bar for English speakers with FSI benchmarks of 600-900 hours to arrive at proficiency. The Dutch are great for straightforward similarities, as is Spanish in\u2002terms of material and phonology. But other non-European selections, the likes of Malay and Swahili, get creative with their grammar. \u200b<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grow in motivation and match your \u2018easiest\u2019 option with daily immersion, apps and structured courses such as Henry Harvin\u2019s CEFR-aligned\u2002programs for certifications &amp; jobs.
