(To read in Spanish, click here)Spain's Cervantes Institute will teach Spanish to some 100,000 Starbucks workers
throughout the United States. By virtue of an agreement signed Tuesday 26 May of 2009, those 100,000
workers will be able to learn Spanish via the Institute's online Virtual Spanish Classroom
(Aula Virtual de Español), or AVE.
The course will last one year and quarterly reports will be issued to evaluate how the
students are progressing in learning the language, according to a press release revealed by
the Cervantes Institute.
Starbucks will be able to follow the Spanish studies of its workers via AVE, which will be
available on the intranet of the Seattle-based chain. Also in Seattle is the first Cervantes
Classroom that the Institute opened in the United States (in Washington State),
located at the University of Washington.
The Seattle Classroom will kick off the training program, which will start with a pilot
course taught by professors from UW's Spanish department.
When the course ends, students will receive certification of their knowledge of Spanish with
a Diploma of Spanish as a
Foreign Language (known as DELE) awarded by the Cervantes Institute in the name of
Spain's Ministry of Education.

LAST MINUTE NEWS:
As of May 25th 2009, all travel warnings to Mexico due to the outbreak of novel H1N1 flu in
Mexico have been lifted! This is great news considering that after taking all necessary
health and safety precautions, our schools in Mexico did not suffer any incidents!
Why not take this opportunity to have an exotic cultural spanish-learning experience (and a wide range of courses to choose from) in warm and colorful Mexico? Here's a quick snap shot of each of our Mexican destinations to help you start your
planning:
A university
city, small and peaceful, far from the coastal centers of mass tourism, Guanajuato seems
made to welcome students of Spanish. You will find yourself enchanted by the lovely
architecture and by the culture that breathes in every nook and cranny of this alluring
colonial beauty.
Simply
known as "Playa," this small Caribbean fishing village on the Mayan Riviera is Cancun's
laid-back neighbor (approximately 35 minutes from Cancun's international airport). Playa del Carmen is
a wonderful place to enjoy the cultural and historic richness of Mexico and the Mayan
people. It attracts visitors from all over the world because of its relaxed, tropical
atmosphere and its unmatched beaches.
With peaks of almost
10,000 feet high, caverns among the deepest in the world, unspoiled beaches, jungles and
valleys, Oaxaca is an ideal place to experience the beauty of Mexico and its people. Oaxaca
is protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site for its Spanish colonial buildings and
nearby archaeological centre, Monte Albán.
The magical
combination of mountains and beaches makes visitors fall in love with Puerto Vallarta at
first sight. Aside from its beauty and amazing flora and fauna, this city also charms
tourists with its colonial architecture and traditions, famous even in Mexico. Puerto
Vallarta is the perfect blend of tropical waters and rich Mexican culture: a place to learn,
relax, have fun and marvel at natural wonders.
