I took private Italian lessons with Global Village and was able to pass an Italian competency exam…read moreafter 10 months. I had never studied Italian, and my teacher was extremely knowledgeable, patient and very responsible, always making sure I was comprehending and developing new vocabulary and grammar skills each week. I recommend Global Village!

If you ever had even the slightest desire to learn to speak Spanish, then consider taking that…read morefirst step by enrolling in Sarah's Spanish School in Eureka, MO. I knew only a few commonplace words in Spanish when I enrolled in Adult Spanish I, yet after 8 weeks, I was confident and comfortable holding simple conversations with the instructors and my fellow classmates. The unique teaching approaches used by both instructors (Hannah and Sarah) were fun and engaging. We learned by listening to Spanish music, story telling, dictation, online quizzes and games, and lots of practice throughout the class. Each session moved so quickly and was so enjoyable that the 90 minutes flew right by. I'm so inspired by the progress I've made in such a short time that I enrolled in Adult Spanish II and can't wait to get started. Put all your fears and doubts aside and jump in - you'll be glad you did!

I've checked out Alliances in 3 different cities now, and this is hands down the best one that I…read morehave visited. This community is so vibrant and jam-packed with activities and events: classes, book clubs, movie clubs, wine tastings, speaker events, parties ... you name it. They offer classes that cover the whole spectrum of experience levels, with beginners classes that start students from scratched and advanced courses that have students engaging in political debate. Most of the classes are 6-week sessions and cost $174, which is such a steal when considering the breakdown of university courses (mine came out to be $50+ a class based on tuition and class hours). I'm a fan of the "casse-croutes," which are $10 lunch classes that run from 12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. and are scheduled throughout the week and have different themes (music, current events, etc.) They operate on a drop-in basis, so they're good for people who have unpredictable schedules like me and can't commit to the regular courses. They have 2 book clubs, one that finishes a book each month, and another that reads at a more leisurely pace. These meetings are free for members! The Alliance also offers DELF testing and private instruction. Plus, they have a library of books that members can borrow from and peruse. Awesome place. Great community. Really wonderful cultural center. Note that they are closed on Fridays!

This Easter weekend is the first "student voice" plays in 15 years and I saw the first night…read more The plays are a collaborative skit from student performers and the student screenwriters. The dynamic gave the performers the ability to showcase their talents (dance, singing and instrumental) without losing the meaning the stories were telling. The plays were adult, contemporary, and emotionally moving. After the skits was a brief performer and director introduction plus a question and answer period. My only question is "why was this in the basement theater"... the small audience was nice to be part of, but a larger audience would be nice also. If you want something adult but college youthful to experience this is an excellent event to enjoy.

The staff at the Webster Chapters I attended were great, the instructors, the enrollment staff and…read moreadministrators are all awesome. Everyone at the Luke and Beaufort, SC Campus is beyond reproach all care about their students. They communicate well and look after their students from day one, all the way to even after graduation. Webster University Main Campus however, and those that don't own up to their accounting mistakes and allow their "Alumni" to damage their credit call for this poor rating. My specific case of accepting poor guidance and lethargic action when the University's accounting department (along with the Department of Veterans' Affairs) made a mistake and caused me to incur negative credit charges as well as an extra $400 service fee, all because the four staffers at the Main Campus in St Louis took 4 months to figure out they were over paid. They admitted they made the mistake, to prove their point, they overnighted me a check for the difference to "make me whole"... They had no interest in paying the late fees incurred by their delayed response. All it would have taken to keep me from writing this review and more to come, would have been to simply apologize and reimburse me the $400 in fees... but your university couldn't bear to even respond to that request, much less write the check. Webster University will get bad press from me at every campus I come across the rest of my military career. It's not the 80pt Credit Score hit, or $400, but mostly the principles of being a school students should trust.
