Hello friends I pass out in year 2012 as a Electrical engineer. Now I want to do MS from Cyprus. Please suggest me best Universities for MS Programs in Cyprus so that I can apply for it.
I'm thinking of taking students to Spain again. I was wondering which travel agencies to avoid. I have traveled with CHA and Casterbridge and both had things that were small but annoying. I may still stay with one of them, but would love other input. Thanks

Spanish teacher planning a trip for 2016. Interested in taking my students to Costa Rica and have prices two travel companies, ACIS and CHA. I have traveled with ACIS and know they are excellent but their prices are getting ridiculously expensive. They are quoting me 3,100 for 9 days in Costa Rica and CHA is quoting us 2,450.00. However, I have can't find any reviews on CHA online. Can anyone please share their experience with CHA. Gracias

Thanks so much for your assistance. Hope that you have many students who are interested. Have an AFS (awesome, fantastic and stupendous) day.
I pick a news story that seems interesting to me. I play it once on normal speed while students listen to it. Afterwards, I ask them, in Spanish, what they understood. We listen to the same report a second time, at slowed speed, while they jot down all the details they understand. We discuss again. Then the 3rd time, I give the the transcript, so they can read while they listen, underlining unfamiliar words. Afterwards, I give them translations for new words, they read it through with a partner, then we discuss it as a class. Good luck!
