Here I am Nikkei myself, plus I was new member of now former NSA (Nichiren Shoshu Academy, now simply SGI-USA, and NST) one (now two since 1991) organisation based in Tokyo, and I NEVER set foot in this area! Little Osaka now known, I could have joined teen and youth group at Buddhist Church (despite being Nichiren Buddhist as I assume this church to be Nembutsu). I never had opportinuty to eat at any restaurant or Sushiya, visit mangaya, giant robot shop, or shop at Nijiya Supa either! Now I live in Northern California. San Francisco has largest Nihonmachi in America, but still small compared to our community in Southern California! (Nihonmachi no longer strictly Japanese as many Chinese and Korean moved in)! However next time I come to Southern California, I have to visit Soteru, and other Japanese community in Los Angeles area as well! Oh yes! I want to visit (and if I move there to SoCal, as to volunteer) at Soteru Gakuin (Japanese Institute of Sawtelle) as well! Thank you!

I have always wanted to learn Spanish, I live in Los Angeles, and my girlfriend's family is Central American so I thought it would be really cool to learn how to communicate in another language. I signed up for SMC Spanish courses which was a disaster (story for a different day) and found Edwin online. After taking one of his courses, I was hooked -- he takes time to understand what your goals are and will tailor his classes based on the group's goals. He's always willing to work with you inside and outside of class, and it felt like I had a friend who cared about teaching me Spanish. After about 8 months, my girlfriend and her family noticed my improvement, and I could tell I had gotten a lot better at speaking. I have had so much fun improving and getting better, and I would highly, highly recommend Edwin and the Learning Language Spanish School to anyone wanting to learn Spanish. Edwin: you ROCK!

I really enjoy the friendly atmosphere of this small school, personal attention to each of my kid's needs and abilities. My children are always happy to go and study Russian language, chess, drawing and math, and those are just a few of many classes the school is offering. The teachers are professional native speakers who are putting lots of energy into the lessons making sure it is engaging, informative and fun at the same time so the kids are motivated to learn another language. The school keeps things interesting for children by having them perform in small theatre productions in Russian language and also celebrating the traditional holidays. I highly recommend it!

We are very thankful to have found the LA Spanish School. We are a bilingual household (English and…read moreTurkish) and though it would good for our 3 year old son to start learning Spanish at an early age. Living in a very diverse and multicultural city we understand that our kids need to be equipped with the linguistic and cultural skills for their future. Learning another language is only possible through fully immersion so we were seeking immersive Spanish preschools when we came across LA Spanish School. We fell in love with the school's fully immersive curriculum, fantastic teachers Diana & Mirella and the facility. I cannot express enough how delighted we are with the Spanish immersive preschool program at LA Spanish School. Our son attends the 5 day preschool program. One of the standout features is the dedicated and passionate team of educators who make learning a joyous experience for the little ones. From the moment our child stepped through the doors, -and this was the first time he enrolled in any childcare program- he had a great connection with both teachers. Maestra Diana and Mirella are such sweet, caring and well equipped professionals, it is impossible not to notice how amazing they are with all children. Maestra Diana and Mirella's expertise provide an enriching learning environment. They seamlessly integrate language acquisition into every aspect of the curriculum, ensuring that children are not only exposed to Spanish but also engaged in meaningful and age-appropriate activities. They are very patient nurturing, and skilled in creating a warm and inclusive atmosphere. I noticed how my son quickly learned Spanish words even by the end of his first week! He has been attending the school since fall and is now understanding all the commands, basic words, descriptions etc. Our child comes home excitedly sharing new words, phrases, and songs learned in class. He is very proud to learn another language that neither myself or my husband speaks. He is now teaching us Spanish! This makes us confident in the program's ability to instill a love for the language. Beyond language acquisition, we appreciate the emphasis on cultural exposure. The program incorporates celebrations, traditions, and customs from Spanish-speaking regions, giving our child a broader understanding of the world. This cultural integration fosters a global perspective and instills values of diversity and inclusivity. For example, we celebrated Dia De Los Muertos, Lanterns Night and attended their puppet show at a local park. The teacher go above and beyond to introduce aspects of the culture. The school also has a small community garden which enables the ones ones to be in the outdoors and connect with nature. Our son's favorite time in school is when they go to the 'jardin' to take care of herbs which teacher Diana so generously shares with parents and 'projecto' time where they do art projects. The school also teaches independence and social skills. For example my son learned to put on his shoes, wash his hands, interact with other kids, share and all the important things a preschooler needs to know before heading off to kindergarten. Our son now has friends and both teachers are very patient and nurturing with the children in helping them acquire these social skills. I cannot recommend higher the LA Spanish School to all parents and would like to thank the City of Santa Monica for their support in this fantastic program. If you are looking for a well-rounded, culturally enriching, and academically stimulating immersive preschool experience for your child don't hesitate to register for LA Spanish School. Our family is grateful for the positive impact it has had on our child's early education, and we look forward to continued growth and success in this outstanding program. We love our school and our teachers. Thank you Maestra Diana, Mirella and the City of Santa Monica.

She has a gift for connecting with the littlest ones. The mommy, daddy, and baby class as well as the toddler classes are filled with spanish language, play, gardening, and education. You might not think that once a week for a 1 or 2 year old would yield any measurable results, but kids that young have started singing in spanish and saying words in spanish. Cannot recommend this school or the Diana highly enough.
