This edition is packed with the key updates, reminders, and changes we shared throughout May 🗓️, helping keep everyone informed and aligned as we continue building a strong start to the year. 💪
Issue: May 2026
Slang
CESDE classes will continue until the first week of June. We're aware of some attendance challenges and kindly remind you that these are adult learners balancing work and assignments-please don't take it personally and continue classes as usual with professionalism. Their contract ends in early June, and we don't yet have confirmation about renewal. We'll keep you posted as soon as we have updates.
Team Updates: New Faces & Farewells
Starting in May, learners are now required to book Practice classes before joining. Previously, learners were able to enter classes without prior booking, even after the session had started, which occasionally led to an uncontrolled number of participants. This update helps us ensure better class organization and a smoother learning experience for everyone. Please support us by communicating this change during your Practice classes and reminding learners to always book their sessions in advance.
As we kick off another month of 2026, we want to take a moment to celebrate our growing Slang family and acknowledge those who have moved on.
Welcome to our new teachers: We're excited to welcome Juan Pablo Arango Ramirez, Girish Vijayan, and Maria Fernanda Romero to the team! Your expertise and energy are a valuable addition, and we look forward to seeing you thrive in your classes.
Farewell and thank you: We also say goodbye to Lucca Scaravilli, Alejandro Gutierrez, Shanice Martin and Ana Maria Jaramillo who have moved on from Slang. Thank you for your dedication and contributions—your impact on students and colleagues will be remembered. We're thrilled to continue building a strong, supportive community and can't wait to see what this year brings for everyone.
A big Happy Birthday to all our amazing ECs who celebrated their special day this May! We hope your year ahead is filled with success, joy, and unforgettable moments. Thank you for all that you do-here's to another fantastic year!
