The Cactus Easter Scoop  

The clocks have changed, the daffodils are stirring and there's excitement in the air as we start to think about longer days and warmer evenings...

Spring is without doubt one of the best times to go away, especially to Europe where the temperatures are rising, crowds are few and flights still cheap. So as well as some fantastic last-minute Easter ideas and special offers, this month we're bringing you a savvy Sporty Language Learners' Guide and inviting you to join us at some fantastic events across London...

  :: Your Feedback - Madrid & Florence


Spanish in Madrid, Spain

"Your website was extremely helpful and informative, giving a professional impression and answering many questions. The classes were interesting and I felt that during the first two months I learnt very quickly. Staff
at the school were always friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The location was great, in the heart of Madrid, but at the same time not right in the centre which was good as it wasn't too busy or loud.

I enjoyed meeting a lot of new people from many
different countries and the course very much
encouraged interaction between students which
was great. The nightlife in Madrid is amazing and
going out with both other students from the course
and Spanish friends I knew beforehand was great fun.
I also loved the climate in Madrid and the opportunity
to go and sit in Retiro Park on a sunny day."
Stephanie Geake


Italian in Florence, Italy

"I booked with Cactus because you had a very
clear website and offered a broad range of
places, dates and course levels.

The school was well organised. They assessed my
level very well for the 'regular' lessons (20 per
week), and the other 10 or so students were at
the same level as me.

I liked staying in Florence very much, as almost
anyone does...I stayed with a host family, who
treated me very well. It was perfect and I would
certainly recommend them. I enjoyed the whole combination of learning the language together with
other foreign students and staying with a family in
a city and region that were very attractive to visit.
