Conversation classes start this week + enrol now for Term 2

Hola a todos!

We had a busy Term 1! The great and unexpected news is that Gisella is back so now we are back to 4 teachers. This is very exciting as we have flexibility to open new Spanish Clubs in primary schools, pre-schools and high schools.

Gisella at PLAINS FM with “Hoy toca cuento”; she is taking students to be part of the radio program this week! Worth following on FB!!

Eva is going to be away just for a short little while and in the meantime, we do appreciate your help getting back to us regarding Term 2. We do have to plan wisely and efficiently. It is very important we have a minimum of at least 5 students in our courses.
