Rather than an actual class, led by a teacher, this is a series of study groups of individuals who begin their study at roughly the same level of comprehension. In order to encourage new would-be learners, a new group convenes roughly every three months, starting from the very beginning by learning the Albanian alphabet.
Because it's hard to learn a language without an intense schedule, the group meet three times a week. A small amount of home study is encouraged, and homework is given out, the results of which are assessed in the following lesson.
The groups are fun and informal, with interactive games and quizzes. Speaking English is not a requirement; Michelle speaks some Italian and Spanish, but students from any language group are welcome.
Michelle provides a free PDF of the textbook used, and students can have it printed if they feel the need, but it's not a requirement.
There's a meetup about every three months to start a new beginner group. From the time of posting this page, the next group will convene in January 2026. Contact Michelle on the WhatsApp number above if you'd like to participate.
The groups are completely free of charge.
