When you unexpectedly bump into a former trainee from our very first cohort at Language World 2026! It was wonderful to see Sarah again and catch up. She's now Head of Faculty at her school. How amazing is that? It's moments like these that remind us why we do what we do. #TeachLanguages #LW2026 #TeachMFL #LanguageLeaders
