Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Submit the IDIOMA registration form, pay the $60 course fee (or ask about a scholarship or payment plan), then take the online English placement test on your phone..

Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

Your first step is an English placement test on your phone, which sets your level. Classes last 10 weeks and meet on weekday mornings or evenings. You can attend online or at the BOK Building office in South Philadelphia. The course fee is $60, and scholarships are available. For health days, you call the number for your location to book an appointment, and the care is free.

Tips for your first visit

  • Have your phone ready for the English placement test, since it is taken there.
  • Ask about a scholarship or payment plan before you pay the course fee.
  • Call (267) 648-1398 or message that number on WhatsApp with questions about enrolling.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The IDIOMA page lays out each step to enroll, a placement test sets the level, and the site says it keeps enrolling new students. It is not a drop-in class, and there is a fee..
