Fun way to learn new language! 5 Star Rating - World class

I took intro to Spanish (the very beginner class), it was great! Small class size, manageable amount of homework. Teacher was very nice, good, and informative (native Spanish speaker)! Prices very reasonable when compared to other language classes (that I've found). Textbook good, not the best (a few typos here and there). Easy to get to location (right next to 1 train at 28th St.). Great policy: my teacher called in sick last-min once, so ABC Lang gave us a make-up class AND an additional class for FREE! I've read some complaints from people about hidden charges, but I've never experienced this. Not the most formal of academic language learning experiences, but hey learning the language is what counts, regardless of how it's approached. I would definitely recommend this center for language learning, and if I have the time, I would definitely sign up here again to continue learning languages!!

Pros: Easy to get to by subway, inexpensive, good instruction, got extra class for free!
Cons: Not the most formal of academic learning environments, textbook not stellar

Great Language School 5 Star Rating - World class

This school really made my Japanese language learning experience fun and easy. Everyone there is so nice and the price isn't bad. The textbook could be better I suppose but with instructors like the ones they have at ABC, it doesn't make too much of a difference.

Pros: friendly staff, flexible schedules, subway nearby
Cons: not so great textbooks

NYC's BEST!!! 5 Star Rating - World class

I heard about ABC in NY Mag and took Chinese classes there. This super-difficult language was taught with fun and experience!! I learned so much! My teacher was the best language teacher I ever had! I moved out of NYC, but will make sure to resume my classes at ABC the minute I return. Classes are also cheap cheap cheap - I would pay double for the experience I had! I feel soooooo confident now. I only wish this school had branches in LA, where I am now!

Pros: Great teachers, good prices, knowledgable staff
Cons: Only one location

5 Star Rating - World class

I have been struggling for years to learn Spanish, and books, tapes, and other classes had been useless till I found ABC. Learned more in 12 weeks of group class than I did in 2 years of college! Excellent teachers and a courteous staff. I recommend this school to all my friends.

Pros: Experienced teachers, friendly staff, small classes
Cons: Can be pricey, textbook was mediocre
