Parking can be a little bit of a nuisance, so keep your eye out for an on-street park. The teaching rooms are a good size and well equipped, and the teachers are knowledgeable. At a teaching organization like this one, the schedules are run pretty tightly and the teachers are essentially directed by the company so once your lesson time is up, you're out. It's a good place to learn the basics, but if you're after some more personal instruction, lessons with a private teacher could be better suited to you.

Gymbaree at Sunnybank Plaza has excellent art, music and movement programs for infants and…read moretoddlers. When my sister first told me about Gymbaree, I assumed it was like a child care centre. Nu-uh. You can't leave your kids unattended here. Part of the programme teaches parents how to encourage their kids to develop motor skills and socialisation by modelling the teachers. You may think this is instinctive and for some adults it is. Since attending a couple of sessions of Gymbaree, I can see that some adults are not comfortable playing and don't really know how to interact with toddlers. However, after a couple of sessions, adults and kids quickly learn to play together. The other incentive for carers and parents of young children to attend Gymbaree is that it enables them to link up with other parents for friendship and support. If you're not sure whether this is for you, jump online and sign up for a free holiday class. NB: Don't bother fighting to get a premium car park at Sunnybank Plaza. Go around the back to the outdoor parking area with the sails. The Gymbaree entry is outside near the Coles entry.

Amo l'Italia. It's true. I love Italy and everything about it. The food, the people, the art, the…read moreOpera, the cities. Everything. When I went to Europe last year I spent much more time there than expected and now have a huge appreciation for the Italian way of life. So naturally when I came home one of the first things I did was sign up to learn the language. The Dante Alighieri Society is the best place in Brisbane to do so. I trudged along to my first lesson, which took place in their head quarters in Newmarket, I was pleased to know that the other people in my class (there were about 10 of us) didn't speak a work of the language. The class were a mix of young and old and everyone had their own reasons for learning. Some people had married into Italian families and wanted to converse with their in-laws, some people were moving there to live, and others like me just wanted to be able to go back and speak with the locals without feeling like a complete twit. I began to get to know the people in my Preparatorio (preparatory) class well, and by the end of our course it was a little sad to say goodbye. The course was a school semester long and was very reasonable in price considering the excellent tuition received. Including the annual enrollment, tuition fees and the society membership it was $370 in total and it allowed me to partake in all of the society events like going to see lectures on Italian culture, fashion shows, Opera and nights at the society where everyone would watch an Italian film together while the ladies of the society would cook a feast (and then perhaps try and set you up with their sons and nephews). I can't rave about my experience with the Dante Alighieri Society enough. I learnt so much and met so many lovely people and the teachers were exceptional. I look so forward to having some time off to step up to the Elementare level. If you're interested in learning a second language in a casual, fun and social environment then I would seriously consider giving the Dante Alighieri Society a call.
