Our customers find this a pleasant extra circumstance and security. Our website has a modernized search system which helps all our customers -irrespective of age, education or training- to find the course that suits them best: 65+ courses, location at the sea-side or in a quiet village, schools that offer courses as well as cookery classes or schools that offer extra cultural or other extramural activities... make your choice, push the button and you will find suitable schools, locations and courses. Moreover you can compare the different schools as regards e.g. services, extramural activities, prices, location, etc. So that you can quickly find the school of your choice.

..Our team
	.Meet the Linganet team:

	Rose-Marie Steevels: co-ordinator & country manager ‘Hands-on’ expert from various perspectives: worked for a ‘language-travel agent’ in Holland; took various courses with 7 different institutes in -amongst others- Málaga, Madrid, Granada (Spain) and Sucre (Bolivia), worked in Spain for a ‘language-travel organization’ that organizes courses and activity programmes for foreign young students. After a long period of thinking and searching I realized that the ‘language-branch’ really suits me well: a passion for different cultures and civilizations, foreign languages, travelling and experiences abroad, all this matches well with language travels for which I really like to make other people enthusiastic. I live in Spain myself and thanks to the necessary experience that I acquired here, I have now been able to set up an interesting network of language schools.

	Richard Bruning: Web developing, SEO and internet marketing Within the Linganet team, I am -together with John- responsible for the development, improvement and the maintenance and repair of the website and the web-applications. Furthermore we are dealing with marketing activities, online campaigns, optimize browsers, etc. We work and stay mainly in the background and therefore as a customer you will not see so much of us. I am not a ‘Hands-on’ expert myself with regard to language courses abroad, but even so I am convinced that learning and speaking foreign languages is getting more and more important and that this is an essential detail on your CV! I therefore think that this is quite a worthwhile project to be involved in professionally.

Furthermore we deal with marketing activities, online campaigns, optimize browsers, etc. We work and stay mainly in the background and therefore as a customer you will not see so much of us. I am neither a ‘Hands-on’ expert, but I do have a daughter who is at the moment familiarizing with courses and schools abroad. Doing this we found out that the offer of schools is so overwhelming that sometimes it seems impossible to find the right course! This is one of the reasons why it is very interesting for me to contribute to Linganet and this way creating a user-friendly and conveniently arranged tool, therefore making it from now on possible for us – and for other people - to quickly and simply find a suitable course!
