💯 This can’t be emphasised enough!

French, German & Spanish aren't just about learning languages. They're about discovering cultures, understanding people & making connections. Whether in diplomacy, technology, sport, business or hospitality, communication, empathy & curiosity complement almost any path in life.

Intriguing poll by @MartinSLewis - might there be a special feature about the economic benefits of language learning on @itvMLshow #MartinLewis this week? @UCFLangs

Today's Twitter Poll: How many languages do you speak with a decent level of conversational fluency? E.g. you could have a decent chat solely in that language (and before anyone asks, yes English does count as one).



It was great to attend the “Making the Case for German” leadership symposium on Friday - I felt honoured to have been invited to contribute! Thank you @DAAD_UK_Ireland, @GI_London1 & @GermanAmbUK for hosting, and thank you @campbellclaret for a passionate speech in fluent German!

Interest in the Turing scheme appears to be fading among UK universities, according to new figures, as academics again urge the Westminster government to rejoin Erasmus+ instead. @paddywjack reports timeshighereducation.com/news/universit…


Leeds Language Week is less than a month away and the programme looks great! Lots of opportunities for schools to benefit from free online and in-person activities to promote language learning: artsoutreach.leeds.ac.uk/our-subjects/l… #Leeds #languages #MFLTwitterati @LCSLeeds @UoLArtsOutreach
