I just made my month in St. Petersburg. It is such a wonderful city, indeed. One of the best places in the world to make nice pictures and catch its people feelings. I’ve been taking photos since I arrived at Pulkovo, last April. And here’s the result of my quest: Photo albums of Paulo

That’s how I see (and would never forget about) this gorgeous town.

“The next winner to be announced was one of these new categories, LTM Star “Other” Languages, which was introduced specifically for language schools teaching non-mainstream languages. The nominees this year included schools in Russia, Japan, Portugal, China and Egypt, refllecting how diverse our industry is becoming. The winner was Liden & Denz Language Centre in Russia and Walter Denz came up on stage to collect his trophy.”

Ich war zwei Wochen in St. Petersburg, als ich das erste Mal mit der Metro fuhr. Im Reiseführer habe ich gelesen, dass die Metro zum Teil in 100 Meter Tiefe liegt, und dass auf der Rolltreppe rechts stehen, links gehen gilt. Ich war denn auch sehr gespannt, ob dies klappt, da es die Russen mit den Vorschriften nicht immer so streng nehmen. Doch tatsächlich! Obwohl sich vor der Rolltreppe eine Menschentraube anstaute, standen dann alle rechts. Fast alle lassen sich von der Rolltreppe auf der drei-minütigen Fahrt nach unten bringen.

“Liden and Denz language school in St Petersburg, Russia, has become the first language school in the country to be accepted to join the European Association for Quality Language Services (Eaquals).”

“The school, which is already a member of the International Association of Language Centres (Ialc), plans to get its Moscow-based school inspected by Eaquals next year. Walter Denz at the school said that international inspection schemes such as Ialc and Eaquals are particularly important for schools in Russia. “In Russia we don’t have a national inspection scheme like, for instance, the British Council for the UK. It adds credibility to our quality claims and we need to convince agents that they can trust us. Any serious inspection has always a consultancy element in it. It is a very good idea that will help us to improve our services further.”
