Teachers are native speakers of the language they are teaching and teach through lots of play, which means that not only do the kids have fun learning, but they easily make friends with their peers in class. Highly recommend if you are looking to expose your child early to a second (or third) language. People learn new languages best when exposed before age 6.

She made sure the 10 days we spent together were filled with great food, incredible sights, authentic customs and wonderful accommodations. We even got to spend time with Nancy's family and friends who treated us like we were their long-lost relatives. A couple of us spent extra time in Rome and Nancy made sure we had lodging and transportation even though she was not there. I had the most stress free, beautiful vacation ever. You will enjoy every moment you spend with Nancy and La Gabriel-Elle. Ciao!

I happened to be driving last week when I saw a sign for an Italian gift shop. I wasn't sure what…read moreto expect but I was pleasantly surprised. The shop was small, quaint and nicely decorated. The items they had for sale, were goods imported from Italy and it reminded me of a trip I took to Italy a few years ago. They had stuff ranging from beautifully decorated coffee sets to imported olive oil. If you're looking for some really interesting, tasty, Italian gifts and treats this is the place to go. The prices were really good too. It might be hard to find but it's definitely worth your time.

I have taken two of Elena's classes (Beginner One and Beginner Two). As someone who never studied…read moreSpanish in school and came in with nearly no Spanish language experience - aside from a few hours spent on Duolingo - I learned so much and left both B1 and B2 with confidence in my Spanish speaking skills. Elena is an amazing instructor. She keeps the content engaging, easy to follow/understand, and fun. The setup of the class is conversation based, so you're constantly speaking with your classmates and putting the learnings into practice. I would recommend Elena's classes to anyone in Chicago looking to learn a new language. I never felt like I'd be able to learn a new language as an adult - but Elena makes it exciting and enjoyable. I can't wait to continue taking her classes this summer!
