If you were going to open a language school in Istanbul what would you name it?

I would choose something really grand like The William Shakespeare School of English but I couldn`t skank money off poor students the way the bucket shops do.

They are all at the lower end of the market. The tefl industry in Ist is about as high class as the skanks under the Maslak flyover.

well, since I used to work for Dilko, a name that made people do a double take whenever they first saw or heard it, I'd have to go for names of an innuendo-laden nature, whether in English or Turkish. Can't think of any at the moment though. Twisted Evil

Good one, Entraillicus!

I think a useless and meaningless high-tech name could be cool, like The Justme Macro English Institute ("Ride the English Superhighway" would be the slogan). Or High Speed English Connection, thus capitalizing on useless high-tech and F1 popularity.

Yabancıs R Us?
G�zel İngilizce?
The English Hole?
İngilizce Bah�esi?

Whynotme's school sounds like a dershane I used to work at, especially if his school didn't mess around with silliness like placement testing...
