LANGUAGE EXPLORER

Hello everybody,

I would like to thank those people who have listened to my podcasts and read my blog over the past year. It’s fantastic for me to know that people like what I have prepared and discussed. I am not a teacher - but as a language student (although quite old now…lol) I can understand the difficulties faced when learning languages and so, maybe I could consider myself a sort of friendly language guide.

Please let me know any subjects about English life, culture and language you might be interested to know more about and I’ll see what I can do in 2008!

One thing I can tell you is that next year the city of Liverpool is to be the “city of culture 2008″ which is exciting - and after all, this is the home of “The Beatles” - one of my favourite bands.

Next year I am planning a new podcast site for some guitar-based songs I am recording. I hope you like them.

I hope next year you can all realise your ambitions and dreams. In 2008 I would like to improve my Spanish, Dutch and Mandarin Chinese - I hope I can do this.

So to each and everyone of you, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Lancashire, England.

Vielen Dank, merci bien, gracias, obrigado, spasibo, xie xie …….

Here’s a website about my region of England: www.pendle.net

Many thanks once again

Bye for now

Alan
