MLI is the best place in Cotonou to learn to fluently speak foreign languages such as English, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish and French and Beninese languages such as Yoruba and Fon. We have a team of experienced teachers who know how to make you speak the language of your choice within the shortest time possible.

Our courses are meant for both private individuals and companies. At MLI, you can benefit from two types of trainings: one-on-one trainings and group trainings. A one-on-one training is a training given by a teacher to only one (1) student while a group training is that which brings together at least three (3) students. Each type of training is divided into four (4) packages. For one-on-one trainings we have:

Level test
Any student enrolling in MLI undergoes a level test which enables us to place him/her in one of our three (3) levels:
- beginner’s level (A and B);
- intermediate level (A and B); and
- advanced level (A and B).
Each level is sub-divided into two (2) modules of forty-eight (48) hours.
Example: a student enrolling for an ordinary (one-on-one or group) training will complete a three-month module, with sixteen-hour class in each month. The same applies to special one-on-one training. On the other hand, a student who enrolls for an intensive training needs only two months to complete a module.
NOTE: We also offer Special Intensive Courses (SIC) to persons requiring shorter training period than the ones we normally offer.
- Preparation for official admission tests
Admission into American universities and international institutions requires good results in official tests. Some employers also consider the results of these tests as criteria for hiring or promoting any employee. With the help of our experienced teachers, you can prepare for and succeed in different official tests such as: Pre-TOEFL, TOEFL, SAT, GMAT, GRE, and IELTS.
Testimony about our language training
“After following courses in a well-known institute and hiring a special teacher for three (03) months, I still had serious difficulties in “listening” and “speaking”. I hesitated to register at MLI but when I went there to get information, the warm welcome I got made me to decide to give it a try. And I have not regretted it. Within a month, I was able to understand and speak in an acceptable way and I no longer have any worry about my training.” Dr Bello Kéfilath, Medical Doctor, Public Health Specialist (PH)
