	According to legend, Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. Emperor Claudius II decided that young single men made better soldiers then those with wives and family, so he outlawed marriage to fuel his super army. Valentine continued to marry couples in secret until he was found out and sentenced to death, making him one of the most famous patron saints in the world today - Happy Valentine's Day!

:: Your Feedback - Buenos Aires, Paris & Rome

Nathalie Dantes, Dec 05
Buenos Aires, Argentina

The teachers & classes were very good. I made a lot of progress. The staff were very helpful and the activities organised by the school were very good too.
Buenos Aires is a great city with lots to do. Offers in some ways the same lifestyle as London (restaurants, bars, clubs, museums, theaters, shopping etc.) but at much cheaper prices and with a very different culture.
2 weeks were not enough to explore all the city. More info Buenos Aires >>

Daniela Henschel, Nov 05
Paris, France

The school and classes were excellent - two different teachers on alternating days made for a nice change, plus the teaching methods and materials were good and we used different media in class.
Paris - well, speaks for itself - We had a great two weeks and it was fun being able to do everything Paris has to offer (I joined a dance studio, went to a concert, to the theatre, exhibitions, the cinema, out for nice meals, to the hammam of the Paris mosque etc.). More info Paris >>

Fiona Robb, Oct 05
Rome, Italy

The school was excellent. Location was good, level of tuition first class and range of social activities imaginative and interesting. The school had tried hard to match me with a similar age flatmate which made a big difference because she was really nice. The school was really good, Rome is a beautiful city and the booking arrangements were easy. More info Rome >>
