I very rarely write reviews, but considering how happy I am with my choice to come to BASE for my…read morefirst few Spanish courses, I wanted to put it out there for others! So far I have take two courses, covering 4 total levels (Basic A-C and Intermediate A). They also offer less intensive classes as well as private and semi-private options as well, but considering I was looking for conversational practice I chose the group option. Bill (the director/owner of the program with his wife) and all of the teachers are friendly, attentive, and do their best to make you feel welcome and comfortable. This school is also located in the heart of Downtown Crossing, which made it super convenient and was among the most reasonably priced options out there (including the Centers for Adult Ed.). At first I was apprehensive to start with classes, as this is more of an "exchange", as the name implies, and has a fairly informal office space setting. However, my worries were immediately set aside when I met Bill and my teacher, Elaine. From day one I felt confident that I was in good hands. She was always engaged and focused with myself and other students, catering to the varying experience levels in my class so as not to leave anyone behind or bore anyone. While the curriculum is set by the course level, she kept the class fresh and was consistently challenging us with homework and in-class conversation sessions. I also took a few make-ups with another teacher, Ricardo, who had his own style of teaching but was equally engaged and concerned with his students' progress. Overall, I feel I gained a lot from my time so far (~14 weeks), going from someone with a very basic comprehension level and non-existent speaking skill, to a much more confident and capable reader, listener and speaker. While I still have a long ways to go, I am happy in particular with the confidence Bill and his team have built in my abilities!

C'est le seul endroit à Boston où je peux parler français, lire et écrire, sortir des CD de musique française et avoir une panoplie de livres. Le bâtiment est magnifique, avec tous ses murs blancs et ses beaux lustres. Niché dans le calme de Back Bay, c'est l'endroit idéal. J'avais l'habitude de venir avec mon whippet, Coco Chanel et de passer le temps à lire ou à regarder la télé. Leurs événements sont spectaculaires; tellement amusant, surtout les soirées des vin et des fromages. Et Le Jour de La Bastille.:) J'ai travaillé pour Air France et TWA en volant dans le monde entier en tant que Airline Supervisor; mes souvenirs. J'ai passé du temps dans le sud de la France notamment à Monte Carlo. Superbe !! La bibliothèque française offre un avant-goût de la France dans notre petite ville de Boston. J'ai les plus beaux souvenirs que je garderai a mon coeur pour toujours!!

I won't even pretend to not be biased…read more French is one of those languages that mesmerizes even the most stoic ears. I volunteered for one of their holiday events a couple weeks ago and almost moved all my earthly possessions into a broom closet. I like the building that much. The unrealized 'yupster' in me likes the entire neighborhood, actually. The Black girl in me can't get with anything gentrified. I still cringe when I order at Starbucks. Hell, is it even gentrification? Boston's so old, we could probably just call it natural change. Anyway, they offer language classes and a discount for members that teach French. They also take on volunteers and interns for all who are interested. It's a nice environment and they have an amazing library. C'est tout.
