Our experience with Language Door has been fantastic. We were at another language school before and…read moreboth my kids were unhappy. When learning a new language, it should be fun and exciting. I looked into Language Door and found our forever home. First, the owner Natascha is fantastic. She's multi lingual and very hands on. She loves what she does and it shows with all the students. She knows what teachers would be best for certain students. Second, I love love love Susan and Lupe who work as administrators. Susan is Hungarian and speaks so many languages, I can't keep track. She's kind, a world of knowledge and gives the best hugs. Lupe is smart, multi lingual and wonderful! Every student who walks in is greeted in the language they're learning. There are adults and kids learning Japanese, Arabic, Spanish, etc. The teachers are worldly, my kids love their classes and can't wait to go to school even on Saturday's. While I'm waiting for my kids I get to speak with all the parents who are lovely. Walking in I feel transported to an international setting where people are open minded, multi cultural and inclusive. I wouldn't hesitate making the call! Thanks Language Door for embracing the love of language!

I absolutely love Language Door. The teacher I have for my advanced Spanish class on Saturdays is…read moreamazing- extremely friendly, kind and very well educated and good at explaining and tailoring lessons to each individual student. What really makes this place stand out (and believe me I did my research) is that if you want to take a foreign language class with them you can sit in on a few classes before you decide to sign up for the new start date. The owner, Natascha is also extremely attentive and you can tell she loves what she does and goes the extra mile for her students and teachers. I am quite impressed with the level of service provided and it was more than worth it for the price! I plan to sign up for German & Arabic courses shortly after my Advanced Spanish course commences.

Stay away from this people. This is school is so shady and predatory. I can assure you all the…read morereviews here are inaccurate because they keep asking you to write one before you even start going there. They charge you in advance for a mediocre education, and when I wanted to stop going they stopped responding and wanted to keep my money. Wouldn't respond to schedule an appointment to figure out. They only listened to me because I showed there with an American man twice my age (I'm was a 21 year old woman at the time) literally saw him and changed their attitude. THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IMMIGRANTS and the fact that English is not your fist language. There are so many other schools. Save yourself the heartache and waste of money and don't go here.

(ADD) Poonam Hemlani wrote something about me on yelp last week. Hahaha Is that something like…read morerevenge? But it was absolutely removed by yelp. I have the right to write the fact that I have experienced. This is a place that we write reviews. It is not absolutely about the student! It also shows that she is not qualified to be a good teacher. This is the worst experience in my life. There is another review about her. I am not the only one who complaining. Poonam Hemlani is the worst teacher that I have ever seen. Don't take her class. She always put us in the breakout rooms and let us talk each other. Also, I really don't understand why she always wants us to read every question and answer in the book. We are not here to read English, but learn something. I guess she might not want to teach us. And she forced the students to be out of the class without any particular reason. She kicked out me four times a day. I asked her why and tried to communicate with her, but she never responded me and she kept kicking out me. What is she going on? If you go to this school, you would be kicked out like me. And I learned nothing for two terms! It is a complete waste of money and time.

5-stars for Atsuko sensei and The Language Experts!…read more I tried, like many, to learn the Japanese language on my own. I ordered the Genki I textbook and started out strong. It didn't take very long for me to run into questions that I scrambled to try and answer through Google. I skipped a lot of the lessons that required a partner or a CD player. I ended up getting stuck and gave up. I decided I wanted to give the language another chance but this time I'd try taking lessons. I found The Language Experts through Yelp. I called and e-mailed and received responses very quickly and it gave me a good introduction and some expectations before signing up for the classes. I was a little reluctant to join a class with other students. It's part of the reason why I avoided taking a class at a nearby college. The prices are great for both private and group lessons and there's lots of different options to make payments as well. Despite the great prices of private lessons I gave the group lessons a try. I'm so very glad I decided to take the group lessons. Atsuko sensei will put you in a group that has a similar level whether you're completely new, or you've stopped and are starting again, or you have some sort of experience, she'll know which level and class to fit you in. My group is awesome and supportive and really fun! It's been less than a year but I've already learned a lot of the language and the culture that I would never have been able to do on my own and at a level I didn't think I'd ever get to. I'm really pleased and happy to be learning Japanese at The Language Experts. I hope to continue as long as possible!

My son wanted to go to Japan for his gap year to learn Japanese and immerse in the culture…read more Unfortunately due to Covid he wasn't able to. Thankfully I found Sensei Atsuko after doing some research on the web. My son has been with Sensei Atsuko for about 3 months now and I am so impressed on how much he has learned. If you are thinking of taking Japanese I would highly recommend Ms. Atsuko at The Language Experts.

If you are not here for this specific purpose, then this school isn't for you. If you want to learn English, you need to attend a real school. Community colleges, for example, have something called "non-credit classes." Non-credit classes are free, and taught by professional instructors.

The staff is very helpful and welcoming. I had a lot of questions and they never treated me with…read moreany disrespect... which is why when I read the review from this "Mengsi" person- I was very shocked! I don't understand why Trump being elected has anything to do with this school, but there are a lot Asians that attend the school so I don't understand who this "more brown than me" African American Dean has anything to do with the school when there that person does NOT exist? Wow, You must be some serious hater posting from some competing school or just a disgruntled ex-student who was denied a refund. Move on and don't go around spreading such hate - because in USA there is NO "different standards" of racism - you are either a racist or not. Please don't get it twisted. And it seems like someone who alleges that he/she was discriminated against would know that. In the end, similar to That person, I also attended a different school, but never once was I treated with disrespect or discriminated against at this place. Yes, I'm Chinese-American. And I don't speak Chinese...I speak Mandarin. And I enjoy Chinese food and In n Out when I have late night cravings. And as a grown woman, I didn't bring my mommy with me since I was only there to inquire more info regarding the language program/curriculum and fees.
