Could be great... The only question I have is the choice of the
saturday... I think we need to figure out if it is the better choice.
Most people are not available on Week Ends... May be we can have one
day / half a day from inside Monday - Friday instead... I would also
tend to think that it is better to have it at the beginning so that
people who follow that international session, would be able to try to
attend an english one after...

Those are the exact benefits that I can see also :)
