I though that I would miss my family, my country, or my culture, but being able to spend the day with people from around the world is just priceless and makes me appreciate even more where I came from, and who I am. The quality of the classes didn't have comparison, they are the BEST LANGUAGE SCHOOL IN BOSTON. The teachers at BSML treated me like family, and all the staff made me feel at home. The building is awesome! and I like the fact that there are many activities every day. There's was a brand new table tennis table, a foosball table, baseball gloves and balls, soccer balls and every couple of months the school runs a tournament and provide snacks and drinks for everyone, that was one of the things I enjoyed the most, not to mention my ability to write this review, which months ago, It would have been impossible for me. :)

I've taken two (Spanish & Mandarin) of the three bootcamps that are offered currently, and each one you will leave with what you've learned seriously stuck in your head. They teach practical stuff that you can remember and use right away. The classes are small and the people are friendly; I can't imagine learning a language any other way now. Italian is next for me!

They also offer immersion programs in other countries which is awesome! The teachers are very passionate and knowledgeable and the location is super convenient. They also organize conversation groups in bars and cafes in the languages they teach, which, if you're like me and enjoy learning in a casual environment, it's perfect. I really recommend AES!

I took Italian lessons from John Jordan's Italian Program in the North End of Boston from 2010…read moreuntil 2014 when I relocated to Savannah GA. I was delighted to be able to enroll again this spring in his online, Zoom classes. Having attended Zoom meetings that were not done so well, I can say that John's are very structured so you never wander off and waste time. He has really mastered using the software so his students get maximum advantage through the use of breakout rooms and screen sharing by both the teachers and students. It quickly becomes a fun environment! His classes are packed with diverse activities to help you gain facility with speaking, reading, listening comprehension and writing. The native Italian, assistant teachers John uses during the classes help in smaller, breakout groups so you get a lot of personal attention and encouragement. There is nothing like having the native Italians when it comes to understanding idioms and other, non-literal expressions. The cost is very reasonable especially since these are pretty close to private, one-on-one lessons. I highly recommend enrolling in John's Italian Program!

Morning Playtime is a well-known, popular playgroup in Dedham. Over the past few years I've met a…read morelot of moms who sent their kids there- either before they were old enough for preschool, or as a 1 or 2 day a week enrichment in addition to preschool, or as an alternative to a preschool. I've always heard great things, so I jumped at the chance to send my son when she had an opening. They do crafts, sensory play, puzzles, instruments, dress up, chalkboard, storybooks, felt boards, playdoh, sand table, painting, shaving cream play, tower building, songs, and on and on. There's a new theme every month (this month: polar animals). Every day when I pick up my son I hear about all the fun they had. They do have circle time and talk about letters and numbers, always in a playful and imaginative environment, with mixed ages from 2-4. The other great thing about Morning Playtime is plenty of outdoor play every day, even in snow, which is so wonderful for kids. I love the fun my son has there- and I do think it is education- play is how kids learn at this age. I first met Elizabeth McKenna when she taught a children's art class at Mother Brook Arts Center. I saw how much she truly enjoys spending time children and developing a rapport with them. She is engaging and hands-on. If you are looking for a half-day program for young kids, Morning Playtime is a great choice.

It also helped me improve my grammar and pronunciation. We also practiced a lot of public speaking and did business presentations. This course prepared me well for a job interview that I had soon after that and I got a new job! I also liked that classes were on Saturdays and the group was small. I had no problems getting to class because it was right next to the T-stop on the Green line. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who needs to improve their business English to feel more confident at work.
