>> We booked our trip to Nice with SC STUDY CENTERS as part of a university French language trip. Students were taking French as a first year elective, we were a beginner group and the idea was more to experience France than to push hard with study. I have nothing but praise for the fantastic organization that went in to every element of our stay. We were of course blown away by Nice, but much of this was thanks to the great support of the Sprachcaffe team and the fantastic package of excursions they put together for us. Can only recommend! <<

His executive order will allow colleges and universities to run credit-bearing educati-on abroad programs under a general licence, permit students to participate in education abroadprograms sponsored by institutions other than their home campus, restore licenses for peop-le-to people exchanges, and expand travel for faculty and researchers, among other changes.

Roy/Canada>> There are no words to describe the beauty of Cuba. Not in English, nor, I believe, in Spanish. I feel truly privileged to have lived through the last two weeks of my life. I am actually the only person I know who has ventured to this incredible island, and a trip to Cuba is a life changing experience. Cuba means heat, passion, fire, and through GEOS my eyes were opened to a whole new world. Learning Spanish in Cuba is a whole new experience, and GEOS brings this experience to life. With GEOS I danced Salsa for the first time, saw countless incredible sights and made loads of new friends, not to mention some real progress with my level of Spanish. <<

Kathy/USa >> My time at Playa del Carmen was simply inspiring. Spanish against the backdrop
of a pristine coastline, crystal clear blue waters, topped off with an incredible culture- what more could I ask for? But it was thanks to GEOS that I really discovered Mexico. The
leisure activities were specifically designed to provide an insight into Mexican culture, and I am now convinced that language learning can only go hand in hand with cultural discovery. GEOS clearly appreciates that fun and learning cannot be mutually exclusive,
with their first class accommodation, fascinating leisure packages and great teachers I believe they have unearthed the key to teaching Spanish in a way high school never
could! <<
