Language Link sponsors Euro-day in Moscow
|
|
On Saturday, May 15th, Language Link sponsored Euro-day in Moscow. The event, advertised as a free concert for Muscovites, featured some of the best new vocal groups appearing on the Russian pop music scene today. Though originally scheduled for two venues, The Kremlin and Gorky Park, concerns over security eventually ruled out a city centre concert. Regardless, Euro-day proved to be a resounding success as, in addition to plenty of pop music, visitors were treated to helium balloons and whistles which were handed out by British Bobbys (at least they were dressed like British Bobbys). Interested in more, view a slideshow. Details

In September 2005, Language Link, in addition to Moscow, Yaroslavl, Tver and Volgograd, will take over RLUS representation in St. Petersburg and Petrozavodsk.

Starting September, Language Link St. Petersburg will provide administrative and pastoral support for the hundred plus students who arrive in these two cities for 13, 18, 32 and 36 weeks of Russian language tuition.

In December 2004, the Academic Board of Language Link Russia decided that the time had come to teach English online.

Learning English in Russia has taken on a whole new dimension. Sound interesting? Be our guest, and take a tour. Details

A WAP site for Language Link . . .
|
|
Ever since the Managing Director of Language Link decided to create the Department of Multimedia and Online Learning Solutions, a number of ideas have been either floated past his desk or tried out.
Not being one to say, “No” to anything nouveau, a lot of time has been spent investigating a number of nouveau ideas. One such idea, a Language Link WAP site appears to have found little favour with the MD. Word has it that it is only a matter of time before the boys and girls in R & D are told to ‘WAP it up”.

New facelift for Language Link
|
|
2005 is proving to be a ‘grand opening’ year for Language Link. Having moved Language Link’s corporate headquarters to the RGGU Business Center, the company has now followed this up by opening one new location and breaking ground on a second (knock on wood). In March, Language Link officially opened its all new Dolgoprudnye Centre for Language Study and in April signed a letter of intent to rent and renovate space in Balashika. Both cities are located in the suburbs of Moscow. Details
