Class was always very interactive, with a diverse array of assignments and activities throughout the semester. Additionally, UNAM frequently has exhibitions and activities that students can attend for further language and cultural immersion. My class met twice a week from 5:30-7:30 pm, which sounds like quite a commitment - but I enjoyed class so much that it made it easy to attend. Homework assignments are incredibly reasonable, flexible, and relevant to your learning. I would take a course at UNAM again in a heartbeat!

Melissa was an engaging instructor. Class would be reviewing the week's homework and past lessons, learning the new work and drilling the lessons. There is a lot of memorization involved as there is in any new language learning. While I attended with a Groupon, I found their regular class prices being more then reasonable and plenty of class times and able to make up a missed class. Also they email a couple times a week to remind you of the homework, the next class time and if you need to go at another time and also tips to reinstate the Spanish you've learned so far. I look forward to learning from them more.

Classes were going well, I was learning quite a bit from the teacher Sofia, she was great with the class. I put in plenty of time outside of the course to practice too. Unfortunately, the whole covid pandemic disrupted my work schedule so I had to discontinue halfway through. I am likely to retake the course once my schedule stabilizes and I have an uninterupted free day. Great place to learn, highly recommend the Berges Institute and the teacher Sofia. -Elias

The only downside is that if you attend Loyola University you won't have money to spend it on these stores because of tuition. The school itself is good the buildings are nice and I believe there is a new building now for business majors that will be open soon. The library downtown is really nice, multiple floors with computers on hand. Many rooms with computers to just browse the web or do some homework. The cafeteria is nice with a good assortment of sandwiches, pizzas, breakfast and drinks. This school is close by the red line train and there is also a shuttle that can take you back to the Lakeshore Campus.

Kathy especially has been awesome with transitioning my son (who is VERY clingy) and takes the time to make sure it's the least traumatic experience for everyone. I also see her picking up the children for hugs and kisses on a regular basis which shows me that she really cares about these kids and isn't just checking in and out at a job. Each child has a folder that you check daily for their newsletters (which tell stories of the kids activities, art work, meal planning, etc) and the teachers are very willing to discuss your child if you have questions when you drop them off or pick them up. Everyone that I have encountered here has been wonderful and very sincere, which is so necessary when you're leaving the most important person to you with another person. In addition to the great staff, the kids get to have an awesome experience while they are there (and I see a lot of the kids running into school when their parents are dropping them off). They go on field trips daily to the park, zoo, beach, museum, farmer's markets, etc. They have music class, language class, open play, and educational time. The schedules are flexible and the drop off/pick up parking is a breeze. It's just been a dream for me to have something like LPP for my son and my piece of mind.
