Language courses launched in Cape Town for 2010 World Cup

THE International House World Organization (IHWO), a network of language schools worldwide, has launched an affiliate language school in Cape Town.

With the recent success of the Confederations Cup and the passionate support for teams from Latin America and Europe, it’s anticipated that large numbers of Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking tourists will visit South Africa for the 2010 World Cup.

Portuguese and Spanish language courses have been introduced to cater for basic and intermediate levels and specific industry or special-interest topics. The courses are also available for individual groups or corporate clients.

“These courses are aimed at service personnel to enable them to interact with visiting tourists, thereby enriching their overall experience. They will be taught basic greetings, general customer service phrases, important vocabulary and a general understanding of the different cultures,” says Gavin Eyre, managing director of IH Cape Town.
