Angel Yuan is our teacher at Key Language. To catch up with group classes that had already started…read moreI had two one-on-one lessons, then joined the class. It was obvious from the first one-on-one session that she was a first class teacher. Angel standards are high, it reflects in the level of teaching! With a high competency in English, this transfers into making the Mandarin relevant for day to day use. The material from Key Language is detailed on the structure of the language, good vocabulary, and relevant exercises that push you, and enable you to bring together what is being taught in each module. Angel is an enthusiastic teacher, personable, patient, and thorough. I have come to realize that learning Chinese requires hard work, but it is not hard to learn! This 5 star review is fully earned, and justified.

In March, I joined to go traveling in Whisler where is the one of famous ski area in North America. Before, I really really want to try to go bungee-jumping. But I didn't try it. This year, I went bungee-jumping in Whisler. That was very crazy and also fun. When you stand on the bridge of 550 ft, you really felt you almost die. When I jumped, I felt free and saw fabulous landscape. This experience I won't never forget ~~~ CSLI make my life be fairly exciting ~~~^^ No 2. CSLI's students come from different country in the world. I met someone who I like her. One day, she wanted to join the theatre contest. It is just a short show. You can team six people to show a short story for all of the CSLI people. She asked me that helped her to write a script. Oh my gosh!!!@@: I didn't have this kind of experience. But I like her. I don't want to make her sad. so.....I stayed up all night. Eventually, i had finished. Then, They got the Champion of the theatre contest. I was also happy. Power of love is the splendid energy in the world ~~~ CSLI give me a chance to meet someone I like. No 3. I won the Student of Month in August. This one will be proud of myself in my life. This is very big prize. Every month, school will select one of the best student. Your name will record on the Glory wall. It's most important that you will receive 4 weeks, full time, free class. In the other words, CSLI give you honor and more time to enjoy your Vancouver life. I really enjoy it, and you~^^

I hosted our leadership team's very first offsite in Vancouver and I was on the hunt for an evening…read moreteam-building activity for our group of 13 that felt inclusive, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone. After a lot of research, The Dirty Apron stood out as the clear winner. I reached out nearly two months in advance only to find they were fully booked on our one available evening. I moved on and kept searching, but about a week later they contacted me to say they had a cancellation. I jumped on it immediately! From start to finish, the process was seamless. They offered a very wide variety of menu options, which made it easy to find choices that accommodated several dietary restrictions and varying preferences across our group. Communication was straightforward and stress-free. Day of, the location was easy to find and they were completely set up and ready when I arrived a few minutes early. The onsite team, Monica, our servers, and our chef were all outstanding. The structure of the experience was perfect for a team event: the chef would teach us one course, we'd break out to make it together, then sit down and eat what we'd just prepared before heading back to learn the next one. The pacing was spot-on. Our chef was engaging, educational, and fun without being over the top. Throughout the evening and through the next day, my entire team raved about the food quality, the hands-on instruction, and the overall atmosphere. After dessert, none of us wanted to leave, even after four full hours together. For a leadership team that had never done an offsite before, this was the ideal bonding experience. Highly, highly recommend The Dirty Apron for corporate team events. We got lucky with that cancellation, and it ended up being the highlight of our trip to Vancouver!

What a great night learning how to prepare and cook in a real hands on atmosphere by a professional…read morechef. We did the Thai class and made shrimp spring rolls, beef satay skewers, and green curry chicken. It was so much fun and it tasted amazing. Our instructor Raf would demonstrate the prep and then the cooking of the dish while we watched him cook and gave tips and teach things like proper cutting technique, to heating the oil correctly and when to add to maximize things like flavour and not to overcook things. Once he finished it was our turn to prepare and cook the dish (while being supervised and given tips and guidance while we cooked)and then when we finished we went and sat in the dining room and got to taste our creation. Each course we did one at a time then ate it and then proceeded to the next course. If you want to learn cooking techniques and some pointers from a real pro and have some fun I highly recommend this. Great for couples, parent& child, friends or on your own to have some fun and prepare a really delicious meal. Class size was 20 people.

I have always come here for services from haircuts to pedigree but will never return again after…read moretoday! I brought my 9 year old daughter in and was told after they started (therefor too late to leave) that I was not allowed in the haircutting area with my daughter unless I was also getting my hair done as well. Their reasoning is that it makes the students uncomfortable and they feel like they are being watched and judged. Well of course they are! Now if they cut it too long or too short I am not in there to say anything. I am very unimpressed at being bullied out of the room while they cut the hair of my young daughter and will no longer come here nor will I ever recommend this place like I use to.....instead I will be telling everyone I know to stay away.
