I tried a couple other schools in Manhattan before I decide but none of their "advanced" class was advanced enough for me. (I was in the break of my collage in Boston and my English level wasn't too low) This school has a great range of levels, many activities and if you have some trouble and want to speak in your language, they have advisers in many languages too which is a good option to have. Including teachers, they are all friendly and it was comfortable enough for me to stay long. I was in the highest class all the time but I saw many low level students (who couldn't speak AT ALL) became better speakers and enjoyed their stay in NY. I as an advanced student learned a lot and improved English in many ways which I was honestly not expected much from a language school. I would like to come back anytime if there is another chance!!

I really recommend this language school. I was study there one year. First,you have many classes…read morecan choice. They have academic class,film class,business class and pronunciation . I took pronunciation for five months then transfer to academic class. Second, teachers are really nice, if you have questions just ask, don't be afraid. They are really nice. Third，school activities . Every week almost everyday has activity, you can join it then you will make new friends,also practice speaking. Last one school stuffs also really nice, if you have questions about programs ,ask them. They will give you the advice. This all my experience in Manhattan school. Enjoy your life in NYC and Manhattan school.:))

I found Rennert through an internet search. Since they received good reviews all around, I decided…read moreto take classes in Mandarin and German. I've had nothing but good experiences. The classes are structured to enforce language skills but reading is not neglected. The classes are small which means every student gets practice speaking the language they are learning with the teacher and one another. The price is affordable with either 5 week or 10 week semesters. You will learn plenty even in 5 weeks because the teachers are fantastic. I definitely recommend Rennert.

I can read spanish and write spanish, but before taking this class i was not comfortable speaking spanish and it was difficult to talk. After 5 weeks of class, i am much more comfortable and i have built more skills around the language. I think my success is because the class were so small, speaking spanish was encourage through out the class, and our instructor spoke to us in spanish through out the whole class. I really enjoyed it.

took Coucou's online placement test and was placed into an intermediate-level class. Unfortunately,…read morethe placement was not accurate. There was no real evaluation, just an online quiz, and when I arrived in the class, I quickly realized after a few sessions that it didn't match my needs at all. The class was pure conversation with no grammar explanations, no structure, and no rules, which made me feel completely lost. I actually needed more grammar-focused support, not just conversation. When I tried to switch levels, I wasn't offered a proper solution. Instead, I was only given about 70% credit for my remaining classes, with a two-month expiration. I couldn't use it because I was traveling, and their response time was slow, so the credit essentially became useless. Overall, I was disappointed with how the placement was handled and how inflexible the school was in helping me find the right level. I expected a more supportive and structured experience.

Juan Carlos makes it fun and low-stress to learn Spanish, while maintaining just enough strictness and structure that you don't get too casual about learning. He's flexible with class schedules, and the classes are very reasonably priced for the amount of personal attention you get. He's also just a cool, interesting guy! I'm pretty sure I will be continuing to take classes with him for as long as I remain in NYC. Thanks, Juan Carlos :)

JP Linguistics is your go-to place if you're looking to master a foreign language with highly…read moreeducated, professional instructors. JP is not only professional but also super friendly, which makes it that much easier to approach him if anything. He only recommends what's best for you and makes sure you're comfortable taking the classes you're enrolled in and that you're actually learning and taking advantage of the resources, unlike some other places that just want to enroll students but fail to deliver after. JP Linguistics also offers special programs that are unlike any other I've seen. These range from fitness classes to cooking classes and wine tasting to name a few. I attended their Italian Brunch Class and absolutely loved it! Not only did I learn to cook some authentic Italian food but also pretty much mastered the Italian phrases related to food and wine. These programs are very hands-on, which is perfect for anyone looking to gain a real life experience in a specific language and culture. So, look no further because JP Linguistics is your answer to all foreign language needs!!! I couldn't recommend it more!

7 weeks (and just 7 classes) isn't a lot of time to learn a new language, but I'm surprised at how…read moremuch progress I made in such a short time. Eduardo was a fun and engaging Spanish instructor. Classes were well structured, but didn't feel overly rigid. I felt engaged the whole time. I went into this with intermediate skills in French, which definitely helped. The course is quite fast paced and covers a lot of ground. If you have no experience with a second language you'll definitely need to study harder to keep up. I used Duolingo for a month before the class and it definitely helped get me started with at least some knowledge. I wish there was a little more time for conversation and interaction between students, but I don't see how they could do it unless the class met twice a week. Overall I liked the format of the class and would recommend it!

I signed up for an in-person beginners Spanish class at the Manhattan location. It was a little…read morepricey in my opinion (plus you have to buy a separate book for the class from the store that is around $30), but I was so eager to grow in my skills I decided to sign up. I am someone who has a good base of Spanish under my belt, but for a beginners class this was very difficult. It felt very freeform/loose and I didn't feel we focused on grammar enough to speak in sentences (though we were expected to aloud in class). If you are someone who prefers structure, this is not the class for you. I attended every week until the last two courses because I felt I was not gaining anything, plus two of our classes got rescheduled due to the teacher's illness (not their fault, but I would've rathered a substitute as many of us travelled from BK for the class...) and we never received information about when they would be made up? I sort of feel like it was a waste for me The teacher was super nice and obviously very knowledgeable, but I think this class will not be a good fit for you unless it's just for a hobby or trying to memorize phrases for a vacation. It felt way too informal. If you are seriously trying to learn Spanish, I would not recommend and suggest you take your money elsewhere, though I cannot speak for my classmates or other language courses at this place
