Understanding Course Languages at Polestar

When enrolling in a Polestar Pilates course, you may have questions about what language your instruction will be in and which languages are available for learning materials. Polestar operates across multiple countries in Asia, and we're committed to making our world-class education accessible through various language options.

This article will help you understand course language options, confirm the language for your specific course, and access learning materials in your preferred language.

What Language Will My Course Be Taught In?

Course instruction language depends on your location and the specific training centre hosting your course.

Hong Kong Course Languages:

In Hong Kong, Polestar offers courses in two languages at different studio locations:

• In Motion studio: Courses conducted in Cantonese (local Hong Kong language)
• Iso Fit studio: Courses conducted in English

Both locations deliver the same high-quality Polestar curriculum with identical content and certification outcomes.

Other Asia-Pacific Locations:

Courses across the rest of Asia are generally conducted in the local language of the host country. For example:

• Japan courses are taught in Japanese
• Korea courses are taught in Korean
• Taiwan courses are taught in Mandarin
  

In some cases, courses may be conducted in English or include professional translator support, depending on demand and educator availability.

However, we cannot guarantee that every course in a non-English-speaking country will accommodate English-speaking students.

Important: Always confirm the specific language for your course before enrolling by contacting the host training centre directly.

Understanding "Local Language" with International Educators

One of Polestar's greatest strengths is access to a diverse range of world-class educators from different countries and backgrounds. This international expertise enriches your learning experience with varied perspectives and teaching approaches.

How Translation Works:

Not every Polestar Educator teaching a course will necessarily speak the local language of the host country or the Host studio. When an educator doesn't speak the local language, professional translator support is provided to ensure:

• Clear communication of technical Pilates concepts
• Accurate demonstration explanations
• Effective question-and-answer exchanges
• Complete understanding of movement principles and teaching methodology

This approach allows you to benefit from internationally recognized experts while learning in your preferred language.
