We would like to wish all of our students, teachers and partners a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It has been a pleasure teaching and working with you, and we look forward to continuing to progress language learning in 2010.
Evening courses provide an effective and convenient way of learning a foreign language, but spending a week studying the language abroad on top will increase your knowledge in a way that only full immersion can. Cactus has teamed up with Malaca Instituto to offer our Spanish evening course students a hugely discounted course in marvellous Malaga.
Book any evening Spanish course with Cactus and you will now also receive our new Language Minis – a series of audio learning tools designed to complement your in-class learning. A fantastic way to boost your progress, these convenient and effective podcasts will have you speaking like a native in no time!
With the summer almost here, it’s the prime time to organise a language holiday abroad. Taking a language course on foreign soil is a great way to immerse yourself in the local language and culture, and will ensure that your language skills are enhanced when you return. How much you improve though is up to you. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your time abroad!
Taking evening courses in foreign languages can be a great way to rekindle language skills that you learned in school or university, or during time that you spent abroad. They offer a very relaxed, fun and, most importantly, effective environment to learn in, and are guaranteed to coax all that foreign vocabulary back to the front of your brain… you’ll be surprised at how much you can remember!
Easter represents a time of year that is filled with positivity and expectation for the approaching summer months, and is when many people finalise their summer plans and projects.

Taking up a language course is rewarding irrespective of whether you do it alone, or with a companion. Doing an evening course with a partner can provide you with a great common interest though, and can definitely be beneficial when it comes to making progress.
