Dear Teacher,
The highly anticipated film Bohemian Rhapsody premiered in London recently and will be in cinemas all over the world this month. Queen feature prominently in this newsletter and the cover story in the November issue of Speak Up was written by Tune Into English.
The Tune Into English Roadshow
Thank you for the warm reception the first Roadshows of 2018-2019 received, in Naples and Barletta. This month sees shows in Rome, Veneto, Friuli and Sicily. The show is now fully booked until Christmas, and is taking bookings for 2019 – thank you to all of those who have already booked, I look forward to meeting you and your students.
