The Language Show, Olympia, London

Anyone who is keen on languages might be interested in attending The Language Show which runs from Friday to Sunday at Olympia. There are lots of free seminars and taster classes. If your learning spirit needs a boost, maybe you should swing by.

I shared a stand at the last two shows, but am not able to attend this year. However, Lexus have kindly offered to have the Nod offs on sale at their stand. Do stop by and see all Peter has to offer. He has a great Chinese learning product just out. It is an interactive CD-Rom: Read, Listen & Speak, a combined vocabulary builder, character recognition instructor and pronunciation coach. Read, Listen & Speak assesses and evaluates learning progress. It will listen to users’ pronunciation of Chinese and respond on accuracy.

My absence from The Show means that I have been plunged into making Halloween costumes for my daughters. Last night involved sewing yellow stripes onto a black t-shirt for Luisa. She is dressing up as a bumble bee. Not sure how Halloweeny this is.
