Global Friends Language School — Languages

We enrolled our 6-year-old in the Global Friends Language School's language program in Portland, and overall, it was a positive experience. The classes are scheduled weekly, and the instructor, Anna, was particularly engaging, making the learning process fun for the kids. My child worked on a creative project where they made a mini-book about animals in Spanish, which not only reinforced vocabulary but also sparked enthusiasm for learning. One small annoyance was the crowded environment during pickup; it would be helpful if they could organize a more streamlined process. My child is naturally shy, but they made a friend in the class, which helped boost their confidence. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which we appreciated. While the program is on the pricier side, we felt that it was worth the investment for the skills being taught. We would recommend this program, especially for those looking for a supportive environment for their children to learn a new language.

My son attended the weekly language classes at Global Friends Language School in Portland, and overall, it was a positive experience. The instructor, Maria, was particularly engaging and made learning Spanish fun through various interactive activities. My son built a mini puppet theatre to practice his vocabulary, which he absolutely loved. The group size was small, allowing for personalized attention, which really helped him feel comfortable despite being a bit shy. However, the pickup process was chaotic at times, leading to long lines that tested everyone's patience. Despite this, I would recommend the program for its creative approach to learning languages. It has sparked my son's interest in Spanish, and he's excited to continue with the next session.
