Hello and Wishing You Holiday Cheer,

Well it’s that time of year again when we run around trying to make everyone we love feel special and appreciated (pulling out our hair out the whole while!) but we’re going to dare to ask you one very simple question:

“Why Not?”

Think about it:

• Why Not treat yourself to mini exotic adventures whenever you want?
• Why Not prepare yourself for true adventures in Russia like no tourist could?
• Why Not pad your resume and potentially boost your earnings potential – all while having fun and doing so at your own pace?

And Why Not give yourself the gift that your friends and family will NEVER think of giving: Finally learning AND mastering a new language instead of just “Thinking About It”!

We totally understand that life is hectic and that you think there’s no way you have the extra time to learn a new language on your own, and that it’s way too expensive to get one-on-one lessons from a bona-fide native speaking instructor…but you’d be 100% wrong!

Because today and today only….
