Hey! The Verbcast was really good, I especially liked the idea of the people being the actual language and the grammar being the 'bones'! I'm just off to listen to the second episode!

All seems to be going well - over 50 downloads now and the info has been sent to lots of schools!

Je m'appelle Lynsey. J'aime faire du sport et voyager.
Thats my task done for today, and I feel like I'm in first year again because of my lack of imagination! However, I enjoyed the mp3 and I am going to keep downloading them. It is so much less boring and more effective than reading a grammar book!
