March/April 2011 Volume 2, Issue 3

pring is here and in full bloom. The first weekend of April Saw beautiful summer-like temperatures and the people of Zurich head for the lake to barbecue and enjoy picnics with friends.

he past month has been extra-ordinarily busy for us with moving down to Zürich and working on a few other projects, not to mention training for the 9th Zurich Marathon taking place on April 17th. Last week we received some great news that Zurich4You will sponsor our first marathon of the year.

he other day we also got some very exciting news. We will be one of the sponsors of the April CreativeMornings Zurich. Creative Mornings are 20 minute talks by people working in different fields. A great place to meet and hear from Zurich’s creative side. In Zurich they are moderated by Daniel Frei (http://danielfrei.ch/)

ere is another tip for learning languages. Make collocation bubbles — words that are often associated with each other. This will help you to read faster and use more native speaker sounding language. It will also help eliminate confusion and small mistakes. See the side.

ow can we use Facebook, Twitter and Co. to better teach languages? On April 30th Christian will be holding a workshop with ETAS in Wil to address exactly this topic.

e are continuing to build our image of being more than a language school. We are the lifestyle language school. We want to help you to get the most out of Zurich and the surrounding area and to enjoy life, be that with food and wine, fitness, art and exhibitions and other interesting events and products. Watch out for more information coming soon.

he project for our iPad App is continually taking form. Our collaborators at the Fachhochschule in Rapperswil presented the project to great reviews and we are now working out a few bugs before launching full into the programming side of things. For all their hard work and effort we are very grateful and congratulate them on their success so far.

e’d also like to thank Alex Hale at XhaleMedia for redesigning our website. It will launch in the coming weeks and should be better integrated into our social media activity.

We are also hosted two great events last week to promote our lifestyle ideas. On Thursday April 7th at 6.30 we learned about British Cheese in the Viadukt covered market. A big thanks to Michael Fontana-Jones of the British Cheese Centre.

On Saturday April 9th we went to Chur to learn how to make Bündner Nusstorte at the Bäckerei Merz, world famous for their special cake from Eastern Switzerland.
