I’m on a 1300 day learning streak with Duolingo

I always enjoy it a bit more when I’m not teaching 😂

I swear every time I so much as fart near a Sainsbury’s it costs me £25

End of term finally here and I’m in bed at 8:30. Just… need to recharge for a bit

One more day to go

The problem is, I think I only have about a lesson and a half left in the tank

Duolingo stats for 2024

I think it’s more stubbornness than actual learning these days

Duolingo: Are you Beyoncé? You made 0 mistakes. You’re flawless

Well duh *hair flick*

Alexa just told me that Johann Sebastian Bach has released new music

Huge if true

A glass of red wine

Amen sister 🥂

I suppose I’m just approaching a “big” birthday and realising that life is a cycle I can’t stop, however much I might want to repeat the fun parts.

She taught me this song. How apt

Today I introduced Y12 to the art of translation and we looked at a pop song I translated for them

They’re so happy in their lives, they’re so happy to be learning French, and to be discovering who they are and having fun while working hard.

I envy them a little. Oh, to have that time again ❤️

Cute little trip up to the Royal Albert Hall to see The Newsagents Live 😊

I have a rescue cat who is half the normal size. I just saw her square up to defend “her” driveway from a fully-grown labradoodle and he ran for the hills

So proud of my girlboss daughter

Suggestion time, #edusky!

Planning a Y7 scheme of work about different communities where French, German and Spanish are spoken… which are your favourites?

I’m thinking France, Germany, Spain, and then two other options for each language for our students to make their project about 😊

Why can’t heads of department see that it takes *ages* to make sets of flash cards that match what you’re teaching, homework quizzes etc

Oh crap wait that’s me why am I doing this to me

😂

A restaurant table with a glass of red wine and a glass of whiskey and ice

Never been to this French bistro in town before, but my boyfriend and I are loving it

(It’s definitely not French though 😂)

Done, thanks! ☺️

I probably need to update my GCSE Options handout for next year 😬

Bonjour à tous !

Thought - like everyone else - I would try this app after six years of *the other place*

I’m a languages teacher in England, head of department and ECT mentor here to have a playful whinge about the job I love and make friends online :-)
