Just spent a great day down in London at the Language Show 2006. It's been really good seeing loads of useful and interesting things, speaking to lots of people, meeting some old friends and learning some new languages! There are six of us down here (missing Kay who should've been with us but who's a bit under the weather back home!) and we've been making lots of audio and video recordings which we'll include in the forthcoming edition of the PiECast, and in other resources on the site.
In particular it wa a pleasure to finally meet Helen Myers of the Ashcombe School. To anyone who is arriving on the PiE site having heard about our work in Helen's presentations, you're very welcome. Contact us if you have any further questions!
You can look (or listen!) out for more info and lots of interviews with and by our young podcasters who were with us down here. Updates and a couple of photos coming soon!
we are in the coolest store ever - the apple store in London! if we had the money - we would be proper geeks! and - we have been in the biggest topshop in britain! woohoo! ADIOS!

Was giving the PieCast and Verbcast a big "word up" in my Friday presentation at the Language Show and at SALT in Stirling. Keep an eye on those stats!

I should add that in addition to getting 20 minutes in the "biggest topshop in britain", Cherry, Lesley and Anna have also been working very hard all day at the Language Show! The results of this hard work will be made available very soon!

Really enjoyed both the Language Show and SALT this weekend. The 3 girls worked really hard yesterday, and were exhausted on the journey home. Their exhaustion didn't however stop them from talking enthusiastically about some of the things they had seen and done. Thanks again girls - hope you're not too tired today!!

Bonjour! I can't believe the three of us forgot to mention The Language Show yesterday, it was the hype of Oxford Street obviously! The show was so fantastic and I especially loved filming all of the stallholders!I learned so many new phrases in loads of different languages! I want to say a big thank you to Mark, Vivien and Lynne for inviting me to come along to what turned out to be a great day! Merci beaucoup!
Lesley :-)

Just back to Mull today after Sunday's away day. Really enjoyed the show and now have a carrier bag full of bits and pieces to make sense of and see how I can use all in class. Good as well to put faces to a few names. Of course the highlight of the day was the Applestore - a sight worth seeing in itself!!
