Language Loop LLC

Language Loop offers the widest depth and breadth of languages of any adult language school in the Chicago area. They are the kindest and most accommodating of businesses of any kind that you will meet. Due to my personal schedule, I had to drop out of a class, but they did everything in their power to accommodate me. Their service was very much appreciated.
Quite simply, they treat you like you are a member of their family.
Also, Johanna is a wonderful leader.

I found language loop from Unilocal when I was looking for English and Korean classes. Each class has small group of students which is the best for a language class! All of the staffs are very friendly and helpful! I’m glad that I found this place and would highly recommend ppl who are looking for taking language classes!

Such a happy place. :) Johanna (who runs it) is lovely and they work to accomodate you & your schedule. The prices are more reasonable than other companies AND it doesn’t feel at all like a company; like Julie M. said, it’s a community! They have get togethers every for some holidays and they are interested in you.
I took Dutch alone here (no one else wanted to learn at the moment) with Dini and loved it. She was super prepared for our lessons and had copies and CDs for me so that I could have effective independent study between lessons. They will advertise to form a group if you don’t have people but most popular languages are easy to form. There were always people from around the world working and studying there! :)
Great people, cute space, effective teaching!

I took introductory Spanish at Language Loop a few years ago and loved it. The instructor made it more about how to learn and use the language for real life situations instead of just going through a text book. For example, he would have us converse about everyday topics with skills learned from the textbook.
The people are great, a real community. This place is a gem in the West Loop and Chicago is lucky to have a small business like it. I highly recommend it if you are considering learning a language. It’s the perfect balance of fun and functionality.
The owner Johanna loves what she does and brings together so many diverse people. Her Christmas party is a real hoot!
I think they do translating and language for business people too — but the website should tell you that.

I attended this school so I could learn Polish. My class was small (three people) and the instructor gave us language practice and a little info about culture in each class. At the end of the session, I knew enough to feel confident with self-​study.
I find myself drawn to the LL family, once again, as I try to get my Spanish back. I’m looking forward to working with the school for a long, long time to come.

Language Loop is a language school primarily for adults (although I believe they have classes for teenagers as well) located in a gorgeous loft space. They offer lots of languages, including Russian and Chinese and of course Spanish and French. Classes can be taken privately or in small groups. They have some social events where students of different languages can meet each other, which is fun. Pros would be that they are very flexible and worked well with me to provide documentation for my office’s tuition reimbursement program and that they have some great instructors. They also emailed me later after my class had finished to tell me there was another student at my level and did I want a group class (which would be cheaper). Cons would be that I had several subs for the teacher during one 10-​week session, who were of varying quality in teaching. However, when the original teacher was in class, it was top-​notch. The classes are somewhat pricy, but comparable to Berlitz. When you call, you can either arrange to come in and take a placement exam, or you can do a verbal assessment over the phone. I do wish they would put more information about what group classes they are currently offering on their website, though.
