Learning a new language is always presented like a debate between companies that want to convince you their product is better, for that, you get the usual part where the users or so-called express their amazement and the progress they made thanks to a particular method. It is always fantastic and so easy.

This is a very extensive bibliography, which is given to students at UEA. It is divided into two parts, the first providing general background reading.

Written by myself, this website is designed to guide you through the medieval and later history of St Andrew's and Blackfriars' Halls, Norwich. The Halls were built over 600 years ago, and today they represent the most complete English friary church and convent buildings to survive intact from the medieval period. Come and explore this landmark for yourself, and learn more about its fascinating history.

An Arts and Humanities Research Council funded website. It provides an overview of the Great Hospital, Norwich. Founded in 1249, the hospital is one of England's oldest surviving medieval hospital. The website is a teaching resource for Edexcel's GCSE, 'Medicine Through Time'.

If you are teaching English, this website has a wide range of free resources to help you.

Look out for the special area for teachers (strangely enough, titled 'For Teachers'!)

I run the department that produces the website, so I could be biased.... but all feedback, criticism, and suggestions are gratefully received; although our resources are limited we would like to make it more useful for you..

Look for Programmes and then "Envoyé Spécial". You can watch this programme on the net. It is shown on France 2, the French channel every Thursday night, and you can watch it online too.

Interesting topics about the news, France or the world.

A must see if you want to learn new things and practice your French listening skills.

I work as a tutor at GCSE and A-level, in maths and the sciences. The problem is what to do to pay the bills in the summer holidays.

I have thought about tutoring the ‘Kent Test’ (which is the 11+ here) through the summer. I have been given differing opinions on this: some say it is easy and I should go for it, others say that it is so unlike tutoring the 15-18 age group that a very different style is needed and parent’s expectations are much higher of the tutor relative to the student given the latter are only 10 years old.

Softscripts was established in the year 2003. Our main motto is to help in eradicating illiteracy from the world ,so we developed a platform connecting tutors ,teachers and professors with students and renting books online in an easier way . Teachers can showcase their classes to the world. Students can reach teachers in a better way .

Claire and I were in a charity shop by the office, buying suits for the next Formal Friday, and overheard the assistants giving the new Japanese assistant lessons in London slang. Here are a few terms, for those who aren't sufficiently 'street' to know them already:

'peng' = good/hot
'butters' = bad/ugly (As in "dem beats is butters man")
'nang' = good
'sick' = also good
'sket' = a slut, a sexually promiscuous girl

Also enjoyed their exchange with their six-year old sister:
- 6yo: "Why can't I say 'sket'?"
- Sister: "Um... because it's offensive"
