Dear Readers,

 Some students call and ask when is a good time to start. I tell them it is now! Technology has brought the best tools to help us offer an engaging and fun program! Our new curriculum offers Internet, movies, music and more! There’s no substitute for a live class, software proved not to offer all the answers for learners, especially in the intermediate to advanced stages. High cost of some programs also make the software experience very prohibitive to many who wish to learn a foreign language.

Many new centers are sensitive to this reality and are offering great programs at reasonable prices! Fall is just around the corner, so whatever your foreign language needs are, make sure you make the move now!

Saludos,

Dear Readers,

High rates of unemployment make us think about alternatives to start a new career or add value our to our current set of skills. Learn a second language is definitely a smart step toward making a difference in the market place. What should you do in other to take that step?

1) Find a program which you feel comfortable with. Online or live classes prove to be more effective than cds and software which don’t acess your knowledge or answer real life questions. There’s nothing better than learning with a teacher!
2)Cost: Classes range from $ 15.00 to $ 500.00 a month. Do your homework and make sure you are not getting in debt to learn a new language; there are many affordable programs such as ours which will give you the basic knowledge at an affordable rate.
3)Marketing your skills: you should market your new acquired skills at social networks and interviews, showing the prospective employers that you have acquired not only foreign language skills, but knowledge of foreign markets, possibility of taking the company to a new venture or basically offering an alternative to the company to rely on interpreters all the time!

So, use this blog as an inspiration to reach your “pot of gold”

Good luck!

Dear Readers,

One more year is ending and I decided to share some of my favorite holiday songs in Portuguese. Please see attached Bate o Sino, the link to video on youtube.

Jingle Bells- Bate o Sino
Bate o sino pequenino, sino de Belém
Já nasceu o Deus Menino para o nosso bem
Paz na Terra pede o sino alegre a cantar
Abençoe o Deus Menino este nosso lar

Hoje a noite é bela, vamos à capela
Sob a luz da vela, felizes a cantar
Ao soar o sino, sino pequenino
Vem o Deus menino, nos abençoar.

Refrão:
Bate o sino pequenino, sino de Belém
Já nasceu o Deus Menino para o nosso bem
Paz na Terra pede o sino alegre a cantar
Abençoe o Deus Menino este nosso lar

Vamos minha gente, vamos à Belém
Vamos ver Maria e Jesus também
