We’ve given you one month to learn a foreign language, so how are you doing? Remember Elena will be setting the exam in just a week. If you’re still struggling to get to grips with your new verbs, pronunciation and present perfects then I’m going to give you one more chance. Mango is the Internet’s first free language learning course, or so it claims. There are 11 courses currently available in this Beta version of the site and, with each course providing 100 lessons, it really promises to be a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to experiment with some new funny sounding words.

But then we didn’t know each o

As a fast learner I raced straight to lesson 103 but this appeared to duplicate lesson 3 which I had of course already mastered. So some little bugs but I’ll certainly be visiting Mango regularly. After all I can now speak Spanish. Thank-you very mucho, Mango.
For those of you not acquainted with Pocoyo, and I must admit I’m more of a Bob the Builder man, apparently he has been taking children’s television by storm in both the UK and Spain over the past couple of years. He’s a smiley little boy dressed in blue with a rather fat face and a whole host of friends that include a pink elephant, a dog and a duck. And of course they get into plenty of adventures.
Shopping is stressful enough without having to remember everything you need to buy. Which is why it’s important to have a good list manager. Now in the old days, people used to write shopping lists in little books. On paper. They were crazy days. Since then, you’ll be glad to know, that we’ve moved on a few paces. Now the world of the shopping list is far more interesting.
I was interested to learn of a man from America who has set up his entire home phone operating system using 
Bowling for Burgers is a great bowling game with a bit of a difference, as well as slick graphics and simple gameplay it has a great story which makes the action much more fun. You must compete against champion bowlers in the Annual Bowling for Burgers Tournament. However, you are not actually bowling for burgers, as the title suggests, instead the competition is played between the ‘hippest’ burger joints in the land.
I know what you’re thinking, Maths isn’t fun, but I’m telling you now: Sit down, shut-up and listen. Maths isn’t fun, you’re right. But as I’m going to make it a little more enjoyable the least I expect is you do me the duty of paying attention. Right, here goes:

Tired of not knowing where your nearest Moon hotel is? Unsure how to get to the Sea of Tranquillity? Well thankfully Google has expanded its range of services by updating 
We’ve had bird flu, mad cow disease and elephantitis, and now another seemingly cute creature is set to bring terror and panic to the planet – the Ameobax. This mutant germ has escaped from a scientific lab and is spreading its way across Earth in the form of a series of cuddly blobs with big eyes. Don’t worry it’s not real, apart from in this mobile game.
