Live the Language Part 2

So I cam home today to find an interesting little comment on my post about the video series by Education First entitled Live the Language covering a short little video about French which you can go and see here.

So why not check out the full video after the jump.

So this week I went to Clerkenwell Design Week after being sent an email from my tutor, having never been to a design show before I decided it was worth a punt, so down to that place called London I went. So sit back and enjoy the second part of my time at Clerkenwell Design Week.
