Languages At Your Fingertips
'Students appreciated the interactivity, instant feedback and wealth of listening and pronunciation practice.  With 24/7 availability and so much literally 'at their fingertips', LAYF provided a positive learning experience.'
Angela Miller, Eurolang Co-ordinator, Cranfield University

BBC German Grammar
"I like it a lot as it translates the examples and explains the grammatical points very clearly"
Claudia Strachan, Weald School

Euro Worksheets
"As an addition to the French Experience and to keep it "current", these look ideal for use with our adult students who all go out and buy The French Experience to use in class"
Janet Croney

Greek Language and People
"I have been teaching Greek at Shipley College for more than 10 years and I have always used the BBC Greek Language and People book, cassettes and video. It is a very good course of study (and thousands of my ex and current students in Yorkshire will confirm!)"
Makis Mertekis

French is Fun! With Serge, the Cheeky Monkey!
"My small pupils love Salut Serge, learn the words and sing along almost immediately"
Judith Steinberg

"I was pleased to see the planned repeats for this programme and will recommend Salut Serge to the teachers who are teaching French in the local network of schools working with the International Research and Learning Centre (ellnet.org)"
Jo Cole, Wick CEVC Primary School

'The variety of skills practised and the quality of materials are excellent. It is great value for money and comes highly recommended!'
Kathryn Williams, Freelancer from Aberdeen, in the ALL Journal Francophonie

The French Experience, Sueños World Spanish & Deutsch Plus
"I use BBC materials extensively and my Suenos 1 book has been so over-used that it is falling to pieces. I currently teach about 100 students who are using the Suenos 1 book, bought at Waterstone’s Swansea"
Philip Ainsworth, Senior Lecturer at Swansea Institute of HE

"At the LSE Language Centre, we have had for some time your Deutsch Plus and The French Experience videos, which have been a great success and used heavily by our students"
Jenny Gibbins, Teaching & Learning Facilitator, LSE Language Centre

"These books are the mainstay of our beginners’ courses and we would hate to lose them"
Ruth Jones, Teaching Fellow, Languages in Lifelong Learning, University of Dundee

General Comments
"As a retired teacher of languages, I’ve always had a very high regard for the many high quality courses the BBC has offered, and am introducing the group to lots of good things on the Learning Zone"
Sheena Munro, Inverness and Black Isle U3A Branch

"I have been teaching Spanish, French and Portuguese for many years now. Thanks for the consistently high quality of your language programmes – it is appreciated!"
Jill Szutenberg

French Grammar
"I especially like the French Grammar as I’ve never seen or used a book like it before. It looks as if the information will be easy to select as it’s all in clear chunks with brief explanations and up to date examples. Many of the teachers starting to teach French in primary schools do not have A level French and would find a grammar book like this very helpful."
Jo Cole, Wick CEVC Primary School

España Viva
"I value using the video material and exploiting it in class. Students have the book and can access that at home. Listening material is also very important and I welcome the on-line support materials as well as the book of exercises. The exercises in España Viva are varied, fun and practical"
Elaine Harnick

"A professional, thorough and interesting course ... The tone of the course is set by the beautifully-filmed television programmes which make you want to catch the next plane out"
Dr Brian Hill, TES

Buongiorno Italia!

'I've been teaching Italian for 22 years, and Buongiorno was always a favourite ... It is one of the best language courses the BBC has produced'
