What a great watch / listen / imagine for all the #senses - this bilingual virtual food & culture journey "Searching for Spain" with @EvaLongoria first stop Catalunya. Highly recommend for #Spanishteachers #Spanishlearners #Hispanophiles #MFLTwitterati bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
Loved chatting with William Marks on his @LanguageLabPod this summer re. immersive cultural & language experiences and the bigger language learning context. Episode out now! Listen here: open.spotify.com/episode/272… / podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

This #HispanicHeritageMonth, music video Doodle celebrates #Salsa music, a vibrant and energetic dance genre that originated in the Latino community and has achieved global popularity. #Spanishteachers #Latinoculture g.co/doodle/u3wa4sp
"I think the biggest problem is poverty...the drop away is amongst poorer communities. The middle classes do well" @SteveChalke with @Emmabarnett on @BBCr4today reacting to new @HEPI_news report on the decline of #languagelearning in the UK bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002gg… (from 1:52:50)
Who will help us spread the word?
Who wants to help shape the vision?
Language learning must not become a luxury for the few.

This kind of joyful, motivational, culture-rich learning shouldn’t rely only on grassroots/community support - it needs top-down support, from:
- Government
- cultural institutes
- global companies
- education foundations
- and everyone else with global vision.
THE TIME IS NOW!
This term we brought immersive experiences to 100s of state school kids via 360°VR, food, realia. The spark was real:
“People actually speak French!"
"Spanish markets are so cool!"
"I wanna go to that fiesta. Do kids really get to do that?"
Curiosity. Connection. Confidence.
"Less than half choose languages at GCSE and most of those who do are the most affluent" @VickyAmysmum of @BritishCouncil yet language learning so valuable - for work, travel, personal development, and for the UK (trade, diplomacy, security). "It's also learning cultural skills"
How sensible is this! Staggered summer holiday starts in #Germany to ensure the whole country doesn't become clogged up with traffic!
Love this #wordoftheweek #WortderWoche and the notion - that when it's too hot, you have to go home! Heat-free(dom)!! #German #LoveGerman #Germanteachers
Loving the UEFA Women's #EURO2025 Google Doodle today - also a reminder of all the interesting cultural insight and fun that can be incorporated into learning with this event now upon us. g.co/doodle/nybkhnp
Spanish speakers / teachers may chuckle at comentarios of the original X post link! Maybe a bit too spicy for students tho! Spanish police’s plea for respect backfires over photo of old women alfresco @guardian #tomandoelfresco #spanishculture #andalucia theguardian.com/world/2025/j…
FINAL CALL for pledges, shares, sponsorship, support or grab a reward! Not every child gets to travel, but every child deserves to explore. Can you be the helping hand that sends 1 more child on a virtual trip abroad? #CrowdfunderUK

5 days left. £1,550 pledged. Still a little shy of £5k target 🙃
But, 690 people x £5 = goal reached.
Simple. Powerful. Possible.

An amusing read! theguardian.com/tv-and-radio…
“What might be harmless and playful in one place can be taken differently elsewhere,” says Conte. “It shows that culture shapes our perception of what is vulgar and what is not.” #language

#WhyLearnGerman? Experts say that 𝗱𝘆𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 should be learning languages. German is a "transparent language" with clear letter-sound correspondence, making reading & spelling easier. German sounds are very close to English & there are many shared words! 💡
