    V. Helping. Massive stock. Convenient to CBD. Parking. Expert advisors. Very glad to discuss book and give advice on level of use unlike Sydney shop who only sold what's in demand. Who couldn't bother to measure print size

    Very helpful staff; upon entering the store, I was greeted with a welcome and offered assistance. They were more than happy to help look for the books I was after in the warehouse, and offer to order the ones that wasnโ€™t available.

    Intext is my first port of call when looking for new resources. It's a fantastic supplier of language teaching resources. The team working there is informed about available resources for so many languages, and my book orders always get sorted fast and efficiently. Very highly recommended!

    The service here is amazing l forgot it was click and Collect, however the lady was still able to assist by asking what l was looking for and brought a variety for me to choose from. I was so astounded by the willingness to help l brought all the books in excess of $200. Iโ€™m impressed l would recommend this bookstore to everyone. I posted the books to my son and he is thrilled. Thank You sooo much Ps the desk calendar is beautiful. We will be back. The prices very reasonable with most books being about $25. A variety of levels and genres.

    Easy-to-read funny EAL book (English as Another Language) called "Speak English Like Australians!" About a Greek migrant & adventures of his Aussie-born kids. True stories. On YouTube by Zoe Lambreas. Or "A Walk in my Skin" for the general public.

    Great, friendly staff! Andree and Tracey helped me with everything they could, even though the store was closing soon, and then wished me luck for my language learning journey. Best customer service experience Iโ€™ve had in a while.

  • 5/5 Faith F. 1 year ago on Google
    Not only an enormous selection to browse through, but they were very diligent in sending my order quickly! A huge relief, considering one of them was a late order for a university unit. Thank you so much Language International!

  • 4/5 Sara B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great to have a physical shop to find children's books and novels in Italian and many other languages. Lovely and knowledgeable staff. Books can be expensive due to shipping costs but happy to pay extra and be able to browse the titles.

    Hidden Gem! Canโ€™t recommend this place enough- visited with family who were visiting from overseas and was so impressed with the selection. Wide variety of books in heaps of languages, lots for kids as well as adults- both novels and non-fiction as well as books to actually learn the chosen language. Super helpful and friendly staff as well. Highly recommend, I shall definitely be coming back.

  • 5/5 J C. 1 year ago on Google
    I was very impressed with the customer service and the array of books available - including a sensible number of options in less popular languages.
