On a mission to bring language-learning to life for our Speech Bubbles we will be running our first-ever “school trip” to Spain this October!

Speech Bubble Spanish students are invited to participate in a week-long language and cultural immersion coast in the town of Nerja, near Málaga on the Costa del Sol.

Nerja is known for its stunning views, historic charm, and relaxing atmosphere. With its picturesque beaches, charming old quarter, and famous Balcón de Europa viewpoint, Nerja offers visitors a perfect blend of natural beauty and cultural attractions. Whether you’re exploring its narrow streets, enjoying the pristine beaches, or marveling at the Nerja Caves, this charming town is a delightful destination for a memorable Spanish getaway.

Our host for the week is the award-winning Escuela de Idiomas Nerja, who have a jam-packed schedule planned for our students.  Escuela de Idiomas Nerja specialises in teaching Spanish and provides a diverse range of Spanish language courses tailored to students of different levels and ages. Their teaching methodology focuses on immersive experiences, diversified activities, excursions, and classes that cater to the needs of students seeking Spanish courses in Spain.

Speech Bubble Languages is proud to announce that our Director, Louise, has recently accepted the role of Trustee for the Scottish European Educational Trust (SEET).

SEET is a charity that aims to promote and support education about Europe and European issues in Scottish schools. Their primary focus is on developing educational resources and delivering programs that enhance students’ understanding of Europe, its cultures, languages, and institutions.

SEET works closely with teachers, schools, and educational partners to provide engaging and informative materials and activities. They offer programs such as the Euroquiz, a national competition that tests students’ knowledge of Europe, and the Language Ambassador Programme, which promotes language learning through peer mentoring.

SEET also organizes study visits to European countries, giving Scottish teachers the opportunity to experience firsthand the cultures and practices of different European nations. By providing these educational initiatives, SEET aims to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of Europe among young people in Scotland.

Franchising has emerged as a powerful business model that offers entrepreneurs the opportunity to own and operate their own businesses under an established brand.  In several countries franchising is government regulated, but this is not the case here in the UK. Franchise associations in the UK are both voluntary & self-regulated. You do not have to join to become a Franchisor in the UK. 

So why join an association?  

Franchise associations are vital components of the franchise ecosystem, providing immense value to franchisees and franchisors alike. Through their advocacy, knowledge sharing, networking, and resource access, they create a supportive and collaborative environment that drives the success of franchise businesses. Franchise associations empower franchisees to thrive by equipping them with the tools, knowledge, and connections needed to navigate the challenges of running a business. As the franchise industry continues to grow, the importance of franchise associations will only increase, fostering a vibrant and prosperous franchise community for years to come.

Speech Bubble Languages has been awarded full membership of the Quality Franchise Association.  As a member of the QFA, Speech Bubble Languages is dedicated to ethical franchising. Members follow a strict Code of Conduct with the sole purpose of ensuring the very best practice between a Franchisor and its franchisees.

Don’t let fear hold you back from reaching your career goals. You can rest assured that our franchise package is the best in the business for language professionals with the drive to be their own boss. Fall in love with teaching again with Speech Bubble Languages!
