Dear Teacher,
I hope you have eased gently into the new school year.
The Tune Into English Roadshow
The Tune Into English Roadshow began its tour on the 27th of September to celebrate the Giornata delle Lingue – thank you to all in Pagani for the wonderful reception the new show received. The tour’s Autumn schedule is filling up, and I would be delighted to visit your school.
See videos from all Roadshow tours, from 2005
