JANUARY 2000

Happy New Year from CSLI!

CSLI Students Are the First to Celebrate
the New Millennium
Students studying over the festive season celebrated 2000 one day early (December 30). After the last study day of the century, students began their preparations for the real thing the next day.
"It's very unusual being away from my family at this time of the year",
said Rafael, graduating student from Brasil, " but everyone at CSLI is
my family here and I'm celebrating Christmas and New Year just like I do at home!"

Student Reunion Notices 2002
Our first invitations are going out to our past CSLI students telling them about our 10th Year Anniversary celebrations. Please make sure you tell your friends and remind them to send in their email addresses so we can keep you posted with events we are organising. We are giving everyone plenty of time to organise for this as we would love to see as many of you as possible.

CSLI Website Translations Shortly
Expect translations to our website to follow this month, first in French, Spanish, Portuguese and German. Japanese, Korean and Chinese will follow later. Our Brochure section will be translated fully to assist students to read the most important information, including calendars and prices.

Price Freezes for 2000
Great news for students and agents is that our fees remain the same for 2000. Please note the only change that may affect you is that there is now a bank fee for all fee payments by credit card (5%) and bank transfers. We apologise for this small increase however increasing bank charges have made it difficult for CSLI to cover these costs directly.
