Hi All I've been lurking for a little while now and thought I should get round to saying hello. We have our 3yr old DS at the moment and another expected in the fall. I'm very interested in their education and wanted to take advantage of some of your excellent advice and experience. Will look forward to meeting and speaking to some of you on here. Thanks J

Nuts are definitely good idea...although might also prove expensive!

As mentioned before, duolingo is a great way to get started or just test the water with a new language. I've also been using this great site called Woxikon. There are some fantastic grammar tools on there and the easy access dictionary is great for clarifying word meaning. It's also quite comprehensive and deals with many languages. It's definitely wortrh checking out if you are learning or teaching almost any language.

these are fantastic. Thanks for the link
