I have not being on the site for about 2 years and i just wanted to say that it looks absolutely wonderful. Im glad that there is such enthusiasm in taking foreign languages to Mexico such as the english and french. I live in the US for now and would like to know if there is any way to continue my education online from here and if i go to mexico it would be easier for me to start teaching?

Any advice is welcomed, THANK YOU!!!

Even when there is translation of signs, automated phone calls, etc.… Continue
