'If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart'. Nelson Mandela
As the quote above states, speaking to people in their own language is profoundly appreciated, especially when it pertains to the language of the place we live in, or in the business world. However, learning a new language as an adult is somewhat different from learning it as a child. Our long experience working with adults has taught us that a warm and pleasant learning environment is paramount in adult language learning. Indeed, the endeavour to learn a new language as an adult is a brave undertaking, particularly for those of us who are already established and acknowledged in our area of expertise, and then find ourselves challenged by theoretically simple tasks entailed in the learning of a new language. It is, thus, paramount, to find a language centre that understands this very common reality, and addresses our learning needs and particularities with the professional care, professionalism, and discretion that they warrant. All of our instructors at Cosmopolis are trained to optimize your learning experience by addressing everyone’s individual learning particularities and styles with meticulousness and attention to detail.
Furthermore, learning is inextricably related to fun and entertainment. Therefore, our experienced and qualified instructors integrate into their lessons various fun learning activities such as games, excursions, movies, tombola nights, etc. which are unfailingly embraced by our students.
The unique demographic of our student population (coming from over 50 different countries) has established us as a true cosmopolitan centre where expats and migrants can learn about Cyprus, share their experiences about their own countries, but also meet other like-minded people. Our extra-curricular activities (international food nights, halloumi-making excursions, bingo nights) all contribute towards the cultivation of a unique community of language learners.
As a language centre, our vision is to become instrumental in the achievement of your business and personal goals, by providing general and tailor-made language services of a professional standard. In our increasingly multi-lingual world, our everyday reality, both at work and at home, necessitates that we become versatile in the use of not only a second language, but often of a third and fourth language. Our new language courses of English, Russian, and Turkish have been developed to address precisely this need. And as the quote at the bottom of the page illustrates, being competent in speaking a language enables us to appreciate the culture of a place and of its people, an appreciation that can be such a bonus both in our interpersonal relationships and in business.
