On Friday 14 October, Live Language held its first ever Language Exchange Open Evening in the school. We invited our students who are here learning English, to meet our students from Glasgow who are learning other languages. The evening was a great success, with many people in attendance who all wanted to exchange a language and meet new people. It was so popular, we plan to hold another open evening on 20 January 2012 from 7pm. Please feel free to come along if you are interested in Language exchange, or would like to learn a language. A big thank you goes to Jose, Fernanda and John Paul for making the night so successful!
Live Language made a video of the school, which many of our students took part in.
You will be able to see the video on our website, You Tube page and we will upload it on the Facebook as well.
