Foreign language classes around here

[world.livejournal.com]

Hi, there! Just wondering if anyone had any good feedback about classes at any of the "regular" places (Boston Language Institute, Cambridge Adult Ed, Boston Adult ed), or any others I don't know about...want to get back into Spanish, which I took for years, but that was a loooong time ago! Also, I'd like one that has you talking and listening a lot, if possible, not just learning grammar. I'm curious about anyone who has done Boston Language Institue particularly-is it worth its much higher price tag? Or, if anyone just wants to hang out with me and speak Spanish...:)

I had a very good experience with Boston Language - smaall classes, good instructor, etc. - but I agree that they are expensive.

Yeah, that's just it, I'm sure it is good...!

I think Cambridge Adult Ed is a good mix of high quality and low price. I took a course maybe 5 years ago. The only problem I had was that the students were not as serious as I was about studying. But the teacher was cool and gave me extra work to do.

That's good to know, they certainly are much cheaper! :)

I know someone who took several languages at Boston Language Institute, and really liked it. But I always marvelled at the high price tag. Of course, you can study Esperanto for free at MIT (http://web.mit.edu/esperanto) :)
