US first lady in legal row ⚖ with English-language school


"Just imagine how far you can go with a little bit of English," reads the advert for the Americki Institut, an English-language school in Croatia.

And now Melania Trump - whose face was used alongside the slogan - has threatened to take them all the way to court. The US first lady's lawyer said the campaign used her image without consent. She has asked for the billboards to be removed within 24 hours.

The school's Facebook page has been updated with a video of the song "I'm Sorry" by 1960s country star Brenda Lee.

The Institute's founder Brett Campbell told Croatia's Vecernji List he wanted to remind people "how much knowledge is essential for international success".

"We are witnessing the great wave of emigration of Croatians who are looking for their fortunes in Anglo-Saxon countries, such as Ireland, Canada, Australia," he said. "If you are well-versed in English, in these markets you can go very far. And we can help you."
