“The study information I received from CCN was invaluable to me as I never would have passed the test without this, and the interview questions were identical to the ones I received in real time.”
Highly recommended!
Jay
“Thanks to attending the language school “CCNations, Escuela de Idiomas” I was able to pass the Ecuador citizenship written and interview exams, and will soon become a naturalized citizen. With their homework materials and instructional classes, my level of Spanish increased to where I could study, learn, and pass these essential subjects…
This is one of the top language schools I have ever attended!
Bartley
“My success in passing the test on my first attempt was primarily due to CCNations, their time, efforts and patience in guiding me towards success. I really couldn’t have done so well without them. For this reason, I highly recommend this school to anyone who needs help with Spanish in any capacity.”

“… CCN’s approach to teaching, patience and encouragement has provided a fun environment in which to learn. In just a few short weeks, most of us have learned and retained more than other classes and online teaching. We love our experience and look forward to each week’s class that is opening up a whole new world for us.”
Carol
“…. I really like the fact that they always type out our conversation on their computer screen as we are talking. I am a very visual learner and when I can also see on their screen what we are discussing, it really reinforces the entire learning process. This also means I do not need to take notes but can concentrate on the speaking/listening aspects of the learning process. When I get home, the notes which they created during our class are waiting for me in my email inbox. Now how cool is that!”

Pool health insurance plans, while offering many advantages, can also raise several concerns among policyholders. Understanding these concerns is essential for making informed decisions about your health coverage. One major concern is the stability of premiums. Pools plans are designed to stabilize premiums over time by spreading the risk among a large group of individuals. Another common concern is the scope of coverage and benefits provided by pool plans. Pool health insurance plans typically offer comprehensive coverage, including: Hospitalization, Outpatient Services, Prescription Drugs, Emergency Services, etc. Despite this, policyholders may worry about potential limitations or exclusions. It is essential to review the plan details and discuss specific concerns with your broker. Policyholders may worry about the financial stability of the insurance pool itself. Ensuring that the insurance provider is reputable and financially sound can alleviate these concerns. Brokers play a key role in selecting stable and reliable providers. Also, there is fear that high-risk individuals in the pool might lead to reduced benefits or higher costs. However, the principle of risk sharing helps balance these costs, making it more feasible to provide comprehensive coverage to all members. The presence of high-risk individuals in the pool can be a concern. Changes in coverage terms or provider networks can be unsettling. Staying informed about your plan and maintaining open communication with your broker can help you navigate these changes effectively.
