Some of my purchases, to teach French and Spanish. The dice, from Linguascope, can be used to teach all languages. This is the beginner’s pack. www.linguascope.com and www.talkingdice.co.uk.
I attended the Femaura workshop on British Sign Language, which really makes me want to attend their courses, Deafway and level 1. They’re based in N7, Caledonian road. They also have a deaf club on Thursday, where you can go to practise your Sign language. www.femaura.com
I was also very impressed with a new product, very useful for language teachers, where the teacher or pupil can record her voice. Depending on the device, you can record from 10 seconds (£4.25) to 6 minutes. They also do USB voice recorder (6 minutes, 4 GB, 40 hours, £24.95) and Talking photo albums, a great present for Christmas for families who live far apart. www.TalkingProducts.com
By the way, they don’t pay me to say that, I just talk about products I use, bought or am very enthusiastic about. The Language show is always a great opportunity to talk to people who make the products/books for us, language teachers. We use their products all year long for years, so they are important in our lives.
