Habla Inglesa?
So after finishing a punishing 4 year evening psychology course last summer I have been feeling at a bit of a loose end - what else is free time for but to study!? Bearing this in mind my thoughts have lately turned to learning a language. I hate the fact that I can’t get much futher than ordering a glass of wine in European countries and to expand my horizons I decided to learn Espanol.
I was toying with expensive courses and online learning programmes when I happened to come across the perfect tool from one of our very own lovely clients Ubisoft! My Spanish coach is a game for the Nintendo DS which allows you to learn at your own pace and on the move. Its bite size lessons are perfect as instead of having 20 mins dead time on the tube each way time I can brush up my language skills. And next time I head off to Spain I may be able to venture out of the bar (maybe)!

I don’t have a Nintendo DS, but I do have an ipod! I’ve recently downloaded a learn Italian podcast which is pretty good. The idea is you do 5 mins every day over 100 podcasts and you’re a fluent in Italiano! Even though it’s 5 mins I still don’t manage it every day, but it’s great for biulding up relevant bitesized phrases. I’d highly recommend!

We also have My Word Coach and My French Coach, plus some other exciting Coach titles coming later this year.
The list is endless

Why leave the bar, seriously!?
