I have been a languages teacher for 18 years and a Head of Department for 12. I am passionate about language learning and creating resources has always been a very enjoyable part of my job. When I design a resource my aim is to ensure that its structure provides a step-by-step progression that enables children to learn but above all to enjoy their learning.
