AIBF News

Amazing changes are in the air for AIBF and we are excited to announce the biggest one now!

Beginning February 4, 2019, AIBF will be moving practice locations! We are so blessed and fortunate to have been able to call Talento Bilingue de Houston our home for the past many years and will always be grateful to the TBH administration for housing us and helping us fulfill our mission, but are excited to announce that we will be moving practice spaces to help accomodate our growing AIBF family!

Classes will be held at our new practice facility, Morales Radio Hall, beginning the week of February 4th. Thank you, Morales Family, for helping us keep our roots in East End where they have been for the past 40 years! We are excited for all of that lies ahead for us and our AIBF family!
