A brilliant birthday bash!

Celebrating our 1st Birthday!

On Saturday 1st November we had a wonderful morning celebrating our first year of business at CasaLingua Language School in Consett. With current students, friends, family and a large number of new visitors in attendance, there was a real buzz and I think that everyone had a fun morning of ‘coffee and conversation’ - which was our promise!

We opened up our doors at 10 am and from that moment until we closed at 12.15, we had a room full of enthusiastic language learners, friends and family members.

The idea of the event was to celebrate our one year birthday and, as always, to give people the opportunity to come together and enjoy being in our wonderful learning space. It was great to see my students chatting with newcomers, sharing with them stories of their language learning journey and giving words or encouragement to put our visitors at ease.

I should give a few words of thanks to Mel and David who gave up their morning to come and support the event. Also, a big thank you to the lovely Jemma from Creative Kitchen for the beautiful cupcakes. Finally, thank you to my mum and daughter Maisie for their expert waitressing and coffee making efforts when I was busy talking! Here’s to the next year!
