With the new school year acting as perfect incentive to learn something new, and summer now behind us, October is a good month to get those grey cells working. How better to brighten up the darker evenings than to learn a language and dream of exotic, far-off locations…we have new autumn evening courses starting this month, and are excited to be launching long-term academic courses in the new year.
European Day of Languages on 26th September is the perfect incentive for those of us who see the new academic year as time to put our minds to something new. Aimed at showing people how important languages are – there are, after all, over 6,000 of them – and how much fun can be had learning them, we’re hoping to play our part by bringing you inspiring language learning ideas, no matter how old you are.
Summer is a time when some lucky ones among us are planning a gap year. Whether you’re planning a big trip after uni, taking a career break or celebrating retirement, we have some courses that may make the world of difference to your time out.
The long days and warm sunshine are putting a spring in our step and making us dream of far-flung destinations where we can dip our toes in water and watch the sunset over a cold beer.
Fathers Day combined with a month of top-notch sport seems too good to be true. A match made in heaven. Dads across the UK don’t need to wait until Fathers Day on 20th June for their treats – with the World Cup starting on 11th June, Wimbledon on 21st June, Grand Prix racing every other Sunday and bikes lining up for the Tour de France in July, this month promises to have wives and girlfriends groaning up and down the country.
Anyone whose travel plans have been thwarted as a result of Mother Nature covering Europe in volcanic ash may be itching to get away in May, and we’ve found plenty of exotic festivals across the globe to help you forget about your flight traumas. Madrid, Cannes, Oaxaca, St Petersburg and Istanbul are just a few of the places to let your hair down this month…
This month we’re watching our purses. Times are still tight and we want to make sure our – and your – money is well spent.
There’s something about March that lifts the spirit after the long and cold winter months. With the days getting longer and the sun beginning to burn a little warmth through the clouds, we’re emerging from our hibernation eager to make plans and get out there and do something.
February is an exciting month with a wealth of cultural events taking place around the globe. Chinese New Year is one of the highlights and this year is the Year of the Tiger. The international festivities start on February 14th and offer a unique insight into this fascinating culture.
