Globalize Yourself
We believe it's fundamentally wrong to only learn a language from a text book, audio CD, or computer program. It's time to get away from the computer, grab a coffee and meet your local Strømmen teacher for a real conversation.
Strømmen has been the highest rated language school in Los Angeles for over 5 years. We are a teacher Co-op which means you get a great price and our teachers are happy. You may have a teacher right next door!
