				| 
 |  
				| I was asked by a Saudi if there are any good language schools or language programs I could recommend for him in America.  He's planning to send 20 students within the next year. He wants to be sure it's a solid program.  Anybody heard of any schools or programs that may be worth mentioning.  Thanks  |  |

				| Refer him to the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission (SACM) in the US.  Their ESL and academic placement department maintains a list of approved ESL program providers. |  |

				| As you gather information on possible schools, it would be worthwhile to check out the schools' ratings. Just type in the school's name and the city and state where it's located. |  |

				| Do not get involved is my advice. Leave it to the Saudis who can then squabble over the kickbacks, kudos and wasta. |  |
