I’m pretty sure I’m the only one who reads this blog, but that aside I should explain that I am in the process of creating a language centre in France, not that it’s a real excuse at to why I haven’t continued my writing, I have had plenty of time to watch TV shows and waste my time on other pursuits.
The school is still in a fragile state and we are slowly gathering students, the concept of the community has not completely left me, I think my ideas have matured a lot since I wrote them down but I shall continue to write up my original thoughts on a more regular basis.
More to the fact, running an educational institution, or any kind of business at all, is going to be a very useful experience to help me consolidate and clarify my thoughts as to how the community might be able to work.
Hello James,
I hope you’re doing well! I taked some english lesson with you in 2011 I think, don’t remember axactly in fact. I’m happy to see that you have a project in France. Always in Toulouse?
As we are saying in French “Bon courage!!!”
Send me an e-mail!
I am so sorry that I haven’t responded to this, not only did I fail to continue writing my blog I didn’t even see this comment in the flood of emails that I have been receiving!
I hope you can forgive me, yes I am in Toulouse still, my business – Jardin Culturel – operates in the center of town between St Sernin and Metro Jeanne D’arc 16 Rue St Bernard, come over whenever you can and we’ll have a coffee and catch up.
It’s a language school (of course) but we are attempting to be very different from the others by building a community of students and a social club attached to the school which anyone can join. We have a meetup group here http://www.meetup.com/conversation-en-anglais/
Hope to see you soon, will be great to be back in touch,
James
