About us
Building bridges
between people and cultures
► Our mission
Building bridges... that is exactly what we are doing. If you cannot speak to the people in the country where you live in, you are obstructed and isolated. Therefore knowing a language is like a bridge that connects you to the world and can give you many opportunities. It has consequences for your job, your income and your social life. In these times of migrations it is even more important than before that new comers integrate themselves as soon as possible. If you can express yourself in the same language as your partner, your co-workers and your new friends, it can avoid misunderstandings.
The world would be more beautiful if everyone understands each other.
