Dear friends

This year, the Centre for Foreign Languages marks half a century of continuous success in the teaching of foreign languages.
The rich history of the CFL can be seen in the large number of employees who have over the years made the CFL a part of their lives. Their diligence and knowledge has contributed to the creation of the recognisable quality of this school which to this day continues to offer language courses.
The admirable statistic of 1 50, 000 persons who have attended this school speaks for itself. A wide variety of foreign language courses are continually being developed according to the current trends and demands of the society we are now living in.
Hence, confronted by today's needs, we have recognised the unquestionable importance of knowing a foreign language.
There is an old Croatian saying which claims that' the more languages you speak, the worthier you are as a person'. This is because knowledge of a foreign language enriches every individual and it is a prerequisite for personal and career success.
Without knowledge of a foreign language, it is impossible to be part of the exchange of knowledge and ideas in the era of great challenges and changes which globalisation brings.
Therefore, the CFL will continue to develop language teaching of the highest quality, which fjrstly includes its expert and motivated teachers. By attending professional development with in Croatia and abroad, they offer superior and modern programmes accompanied by contemporary technology whereby client satisfaction is a priority and fluent, confjdent language acquisition is achieved. The CFL, as the leading language centre in the region, is able to achieve these goals.
Over the last 50 years, the CFL has made a visible contribution to the development of the town of Split in the areas of tourism and business through the education of the citizens of Split.
This text attempts to illustrate the story of a school which, ever since its foundation has communicated with its clients in foreign languages. Situated in the enchanting location of the Split Prokurative, it greets and invites all those who wish to become a part of this story to join us.
