THANKS TO THE ITALIAN AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE!

We had lots of fun and our Italian teacher, Nino, was the star of the Italian Style 2008!! This convention took place at Navy Pier last weekend and will be followed by the Italian Expo next weekend.

We saw the latest Ferrari and Lamborghini models. BEAUTIFUL! They are so amazing! We tasted the best Italian honey, biscotti, Parmesano Reggiano. . . SO GOOD! Equally impressive was the reaction from the audience to Language Loop's presentation. We were THE BEST. :-)

**THANK YOU Silvia Raffa (IACC), Nino, Vikenty, and to our manager Linda Diaz.** GRAZIE!

When our teachers move abroad. . .

Language Loop is a global connection, no doubt. Our students and teachers come from all over the world and they relocate all over the world as well.

Five years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting a brilliant student that later on became one of our Spanish teachers and a very good friend for all of us. Esteban Guerrero, originally from Mexico, holds two masters from MIT and is fluent in Chinese. Can you imagine? :-)

Esteban decided to move to China earlier this year to fulfill a dream of learning more Chinese and eventually opening a business in this country.

Looking at his picture, we can say that everything is going as planned for our friend.

:-))))

Meet some of our students and teachers!

Our two new friends from Spain:

Francisco (left, from Segovia) and Carlos (middle, from Madrid)

are super advanced English students.

Néstor Bordon has been challenging them

and pushing them to a higher level!! :-)

Sonia and Kristen. When students smile during

and after class, it is always a good sign. :-)))

From left to right: Ed, César, and Cristina. (Tim and Stacey were not in that day. We will take a picture of them later on).




Una clase de español muy bonita. :-)

Learning English with Presidential candidates PART II

Didn't I tell you that we would have a part two for our post on "Learning English with Presidential Candidates? Well, here we are:

"Lipstick on a pig" is the talk of the day! Radio stations, newspapers, TV. . . I mean, everywhere. Obama used it, McCain used it, I guess Americans use this idiom. (?)

Once again, all of us, English students at Language Loop started doing a little research because we had never heard it before and because we wanted to know what was so wrong or so good about saying " lipstick on a pig".

We won't go into politics here, but we can say that it has a negative connotation as well as a general one. After all, pigs are not the sexiest of animals. The general meaning is that we can't say something is new or different by just making "little" adjustments.
