An Arabic adventure. . .

Arabic is an interesting and very rich language! All our office team has taken at least 12 hours of Arabic lessons. WE LOVE THIS LANGUAGE and the culture that surrounds it.

Zar (picture) decided to enroll at Language Loop during his senior year in high school. He spent six months learning Arabic with Maha. Right at the end of his program, he said to us: "I am going to Egypt for two months and I am going by myself". We all thought he was kidding. :-) But, he was not.

Zar lived in a very nice apartment, loved the food, the people, learned even more Arabic and practiced it. What a great experience!! All of us are a little envious. :-)))

ENGLISH lessons at Language Loop: YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL!

We can honestly say that we have taught ALL levels. When we say all levels, we mean ALL levels. For example: We have taught students living in the US for over 10 years, with limited English skills. In most instances, the students had to start from learning the ABC; how to read and write; how to pronounce the letters. . . On the other hand, we have guided students that are absolutely fluent in English, but that for some reason had difficulties being understood at their workplace. "My accent" or "my emails are not concise", or "I get lost during meetings because they use expressions that I don't understand" are the main reasons to take their skills to a higher level. We know it is a challenge, but we strive to give our best in each lesson to help our students ACHIEVE THEIR GOAL!!!!

Join us! English classes and private lessons are available for ALL LEVELS.

** Absolute Beginners Class- starts Tuesday, August 26th. Meets on Tuesday and Thursday, 11 am-1 pm, for 5 weeks

** Upper Intermediate Class- starts Tuesday, August 26th. You meet on Tuesday and Thursday, 6-8 pm, for 5 weeks

** Advanced Class- starts next Monday, August 25th. Meets Monday-Friday, 10 am-12n, for 5 weeks.

Did you know that Kobe Bryant speaks Italian and Spanish????

Mama mia! I was pleasantly surprise to hear Kobe speaking Italian during an interview shown during the NBC Olympics coverage. But, things got even more interesting when he said that he speaks Spanish and that "he likes learning new languages". From all of us at Language Loop, that comment deserves a "gold medal". :-)))

Chinese for LOVE and WORK?

Joseph and Lili

What is motivating people to learn Mandarin Chinese? Is it the booming Chinese economy? Is it a visit to Beijing? Are companies really expanding operations all over China? Or, is it love for the food, the culture, and maybe someone very special?
The answer typically is: " a combination". :-))))
Congratulations to our dear student Joseph and Lili on their engagement!!!!!
