Welcome - this is more difficult than I thought. For someone who spends their life talking to people, sitting and writing is a different game altogether. I think it is easier when there is instant reaction and feedback to what you are saying...
Anyway, what to say? I could bang on about the benefits of learning a foreign language or my philosophy on how we should teach but I won't...yet - that will come in time, I am sure.
Let's kick off by wishing all the Ilfracombe students who are exam bound in the next few weeks the very best of luck with their preparation. I am sure it must be tough for you, as the sun is shining and you live in a beautiful place that will ensure that the coast is constantly tugging at the corner of your eyes. However, heads down for now - get the pieces of paper that will allow you to leave your comfortable lives and go and explore the world. You will always be able to call this home, but in order to return, you have to leave in the first place: and that will require a few weeks of concentration.
More thoughts as they arrive...
