Babylon Idiomas Newsletter

Spanish + Football + Summer + Beach = Babylon Idiomas

Hola Babylonian,

Babylon Idiomas teachers, staff and students are generally very friendly and happy people. But it is impossible to stay objective when this thing called "football" enters our latin life. And that is NOT only for men...women are equally big supporters of club and country.

Our school in Barcelona has had an amazing year thanks to F.C. Barcelona (Championship Leage and national league) and tries very hard not to stick its tongue out to Real Madrid, Valencia Club de Fútbol or to Sevilla Club Fútbol (who also had an excellent season and won the UEFA Cup).

With the 2005-2006 club season over, a new test of nerves is lying around the corner: the World Cup. With Spain, Argentina and Costa Rica all competing...it will be a fun and exciting championship for everyone at Babylon Idiomas!

Of course, if football is not your thing, then why not escape to one of our schools for Spanish classes and some beach and/or cultural immersion? Just try to stay away from the cafés and pubs where the games are shown and you'll be fine :)

Steven Muller - Director

Summer's waiting

   

Reserve your place now Announcement

Summer is around the corner and this is the most popular time of year for most of our Babylon Idiomas schools. One thing that sets us apart from other known schools is that our schools are set up to provide a personal and stimulating environment from your first day.

Our popularity also means that we get fully booked in Summer, so if you were planning to enroll for one of our schools between June and October...don't wait too long!

PLEASE NOTE: Although we are very busy in summer, there will never be more than 8 students in your group. We also do not have summer supplements...the price stays the same!

Interview with David Randle

   

Student at Babylon Idiomas - Valencia David

Q: Why did you choose to live in Valencia?
A: I have been living now in Valencia for nine months. I gave up everything back home; I sold my fitness centre, my house and would like to start my own business here.

Q: What kind of business would you like to start?
A: I like to teach Yoga and Shiatsu; teaching people how to relax, to get rid of stress and develop a better posture. I find it rewarding seeing people develop through yoga. I teach beginners yoga in "el rio Turia" outside close to nature. Normally it's very peaceful, except when there are fireworks.

Q: What are your special interests in life?
A: Food, I mean quality food. For example fresh food from the market. Understanding different cultures. Helping people develop and understanding their bodies.

Q: What do you really like about Valencia?
A: It's cultural diversity and the climate. Valencia is a vibrant city with the advantage of the beach. I like to go down to the beach early mornings to practise yoga. I think Valencia is a forward looking city with a lot of development opportunities and possibilities.

Q: Are you following a certain philosophy in your life?
A: The power of positive thoughts. If you think positively in life, you create positive vibration and energy, which others will pick up on.

Spanish + Nature in Costa Rica

   

Explore one of the most beautiful countries Parrots

Costa Rica is one of the ecological havens of the world with an unrivalled diversity of flora and fauna. Babylon Idiomas offers you a choice of three campuses in Costa Rica to help you make the most of your stay. Each campus offers Spanish classes in the morning and a range of activities in the afternoon and weekend.

Arenal is the most famous volcano of the country and the national park of Arenal is one of the most visited in Central America. Our school is in the small village of La Fortuna which offers you all the amenities of a town with the closeness of breathtaking nature.

Playa Dominical is a small surf community on the Pacific coast. If you want to disconnect from the world and find yourself away from the tourist stream, this is a perfect place.

Turrialba is located in the central highlands surrounded by coffee plantations and pristine natural beauty. This is the place to go if you want to experience small-city life in Central America and immerse in the Costa Rican culture.

You can of course combine the different campuses during your stay but the minimum stay at each campus has to be two weeks. We also offer a Deluxe Course that includes your airport pickup, lunch and all mid-week and weekend activities.
