Chinese recommended in San Francisco due to booming trade with China
Posted by augusta under Language Courses New York
Now that Cactus is up and running stateside there’s the opportunity for our American counterparts to learn languages with us. As the following news post indicates, there’s definitely a need to learn a new language across the country, with Chinese recommended in San Francisco due to booming trade with China just a short hop over the Pacific. Both Cantonese and Mandarin are useful to know in any industry in San Francisco these days, and as the Beijing games coming up in less than a month we’ll surely be hearing a lot more Mandarin Chinese spoken in the future.

Language Training from Cactus for the Olympic Games
Posted by Sarah under Cactus Languages Abroad, Cactus Tailormade, Language Courses New York, Language Courses UK
Cactus Sales Director Germaine Broadbent speaks about Cactus’ role in the Olympics
What a week for thoughts of the future - particularly London 2012 and the Olympics in general. Cactus’ involvement with the Olympic Games began in 2006 when Cactus Language Training successfully conducted an Olympic English Language Training Course for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics bid team. Sochi won and is now the host of the 2014 Olympic Games! I like to think that our support, research and solid teaching played a part in helping Sochi achieve the success it deserved.
