¡Vámonos!

However, at lunchtime, we were able to visit Lingua, the language centre at Hillcrest. Similar to the Europa Centre, Lingua offers schools the opportunity to visit their shopping street which transports itself between France, Germany and Spain on a regular basis. groups can visit for a half day or whole day, taking part in activities for half the time and then venturing into the street to buy items - virtually, or in the case of souvenirs, actually!

Below are pictures I took today of the street - it's currently in Germany!

My pupils may learn Spanish, but they are also exposed to other languages in their lessons. Whether it's for interest, comparison, to celebrate the languages spoken by pupils at our school or just for fun, those opportunities are welcome and add to their language learning experience.

Youtube recommended the following clip to me and I love it! In 90 seconds, I've learned half a dozen useful phrases in Japanese and am warmed up and ready to boogie with my kids who this weekend have discovered punk!!
