The Migros school is known for it's affordable language classes in the area (check out the website…read morefor a location near you). However, upon signing up for a french lesson I found out that they also offer courses in cooking, dancing, etc. You can take a test on-line to help you determine which level of French to take. If you sign up for a course, and end up not liking it, they won't reimburse the amount, but will put the money towards the purchase of an alternative class. This location is in a older building, and the classrooms are located on several floors which you can get to by climbing a very narrow stair case. Most of the classrooms are smaller and nothing special. It would be hard to rate the school dependent on your experience with the teacher, materials, etc. Overall, my French course was OK. I had no complaints and the administrative office was always very helpful, and there was always someone available to speak English if necessary. From my time spent comparison shopping, it definitely stood out as the most affordable with consistently average-good user feedback for French

I have been taking dance classes at Jana Dance Center since 2002 and am really pleased with the…read moredance center. The teachers are excellent, classes relatively small and nice variety of classes (oriental, jazz dance, flamenco, bollywood, etc. etc.) All classes start with good stretching/warming up and end often with 5 minutes of relaxation. I also really enjoy the summer stage where we can take several different dance classes during 2 weeks before the summer vacation starts. Parking in that area is not always easy, but good public transport access. Check out their website for more info and I believe you can do a first trail lesson without charge.

I think they're amazing. I went to Auto-Ecole du Levant because they had trained my sister and…read moreshe'd gotten her license very quickly. I had a foreign license that needed to be converted to French. Auto-Ecole du Levant agreed to take me as a student (many schools had refused because I wasn't buying the whole forfait). I was able to get lessons quickly, had 2 of the best teachers ever, made some significant progress and got my license. Thank you so much.....

This was a nice experience for first time painting!…read more The instructor was clear in French and English, and participants were mixed language and men and women. There was a "club" feeling generated, and the presence of the restaurant right next door, from which we could get our 2 drinks (with coupons provided by Life of Art's Lisa) and take them to the studio made the atmosphere very convivial and gave a chance for participants to meet one another before the painting started. The painting I did wasn't the best but I was happy to give it a try and to see how others did too. Next time I hope to do better! I can recommend this experience to anyone who likes to find a new outlet for fun and some learning, and to meet some nice people.
