CLV news

I just got a new newsletter from Concordia Language Villages, the summer langauge-immersion program I used to work for. It seems they are adding a 15th language, Portuguese, which is really exciting. Arabic was the most recent before that.

I have been trying to advocate the summer programs (and possibly working as a camp counselor) to my senior students who are pretty good at English and want to go abroad - as well as other JETs who want something to do during the summer - for a while now. I only spent a weekend at the Japanese camp (in Dent) visiting a friend, but I have had a lot of exposure through the Norwegian Villiage and am confident in saying CLV offers a truly amazing program. I love their philosophy on responsible global citizenship, working there is a LOT of fun and it's great environment to be in.... esp if you like to travel.

Anyways, I noticed there are a few upcoming events at the Walker Art Center and such (although that one is just for children - but does include Japanese), so check out the website if you're interested: www.concordialangaugevillages.org.

Cheers!
