Frohen Tag der Deutschen Einheit!

I was five when Germany unified, but it seems so weird to me that I lived through something so historic. I hope we can all take this time to remember why unity is important.

1 week until my show with Silvia, Joe and Maud. A huge thanks to the National Consortium for Languages Education for the opportunity to talk about two of my loves: Language Teaching and CPD. Be sure to join us live!
