SPF goes to Spain
|
 This
November Spanish Por favor (SPF) will travel to Barcelona and Madrid,
Spain to evaluate several potential Affiliate Spanish Language
Schools.
SPF
plans to add two new schools to its portfolio of elite Affiliate
Spanish Language Schools. They will be in Spain evaluating
schools in Barcelona and Madrid, which are two of the most culturally
rich cities in all of Europe. Spain, the mother of the Spanish
language, is the only European country where the residents primarily
speak Spanish.
Market
research shows that many professionals and college students want to
study abroad in Europe and, in addition, want to learn
Spanish. Therefore, SPF feels that it is important to have a
strong presence there and multiple Spanish schools available to fill
this need.
It is the
policy of Think Abroad to personally visit each school it represents.
In addition to a comprehensive tour of all campus facilities and
in-depth interviews of key faculty and staff, Think Abroad actually
takes the classes offered to ensure that the company's elevated
standards are upheld. A formal review and evaluation of all homestay
accomodations is also undertaken.
But learning a new
language with Think Abroad requires more than adequate educational and
superior institutional facilities. Equally vital is the culture. To
help make certain of a well-rounded cultural experience, Think Abroad
thoroughly evaluates the surrounding neighborhoods, local attractions,
and essential supplementary opportunities.
Keep
an eye out in the upcoming November or December newsletter for more
details about the trip to Spain and about our new Affiliate Spanish
Language Schools there!
