How to use city breaks abroad to learn another language 

Dawn Leggott

Do you find it difficult to learn another language? Did you always find languages difficult at school? Perhaps it's because you couldn't immediately see a use for that language at the time. Do you ever go on holidays or city breaks abroad? These easy steps - before, during and after your trip - will help you to make the most of your trip by speaking the language while you are there. A little language can go a long way!

03

What is your favourite word in any language?

​Dawn Leggott

I asked my friends, family, colleagues and former students to send me their favourite word in any language. Here are their results. Do you have a favourite word in any language? If so, please email Dawn on dawn@dawnleggott.co.uk with your favourite word, the language and the reason why you like it and I'll add it to the list. This post also includes different languages' translations for the phrase "To kill two birds with one stone".
