Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing
this
email regarding the Spanish
course
you have offered at your institution. I need to get more details and ask some questions so I can decide properly.
The first point I must mention is that I used to attend an online Spanish
class during the COVID-19 pandemic; however
, I had to stop it due to
some personal reasons. For that reason, I wonder if I am appropriate to attend this
course
. I also
noticed that there is no data regarding the qualifications of teachers. May I know if they are native Spanish
speakers or not? If not, can you tell me more about their academic backgrounds in teaching Spanish
? Additionally
, please mention the start and end date of the course
because it just mentioned that the course
will be conducted in the summer; although
the exact date is required for the applicants.
You are also
requested to send me the brochures of all related or similar courses at your institute
Looking forward to getting your reply,
Best Regards,
Maria SobhaniSubmitted by mojgan.sobhani on
