How to Say Happy Mother’s Day Abroad

Mothers_day_tulips Mother’s Day will be celebrated this Sunday, May 9, in the United States. The 2nd Sunday in May is a very popular date worldwide for people to honor their mothers, but it is not the same in every country! Many Mother's Day celebrations also coincide with International Women's Day, March 8th. We thought it would be fun to find out how to say Happy Mother’s Day in the languages that AmeriSpan offers programs in, as well as when people celebrate this holiday around the world. 

Spanish: Feliz Día de la madre
Mother's day is celebrated in Spain on the 1st Sunday in May. Mexico and Guatemala celebrate on May 10th. Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, and  Venezuela honor their mothers on the 2nd Sunday of May. Bolivian Mother's Day takes place on May 27. Dominican Republic and Nicaragua partake in the festivities on the last Sunday in May. Costa Rica celebrates on  August 15. Argentina's Mother's Day is on the 3rd Sunday in October. Finally, in Panama, Mother's Day coincides with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8. Want to learn more Spanish language and culture? Go to Spanish Language Schools

Studying French in the South of France


France_Nice_shore Our friends at Boots 'N' All Travel Blog have compiled a great list of "7 Secrets of the South of France" and  we felt we had to comment.  AmeriSpan offers a multitude of Study French in France programs, but we think our southern locations have a certain "je ne c'est quoi."  Here's an excerpt of the article that we think sums them up quite nicely:

"When most of us think of the South of France we tend to picture
yachts in Cannes and beachfront hotels that we’ll never be able to
afford, but that’s only one part of the picture.."
