Did you know that all Scottish teachers and pupils (more importantly!) get free access to Languagenut via Glow until September 2016? Languagenut is brilliant for teaching/learning modern foreign language It has 19 different languages and covers the first 4 years of academic learning and 1400 words and phrases. It’s fun. It's a game - kids won't even know they are learning. Get on Glow and have a gander.
