David Crystal on whether texting will affect the English language and why he maintains a blog (amongst other things).
Penny Urr on how to make bog standard vocabulary and grammar exercises more interesting.
Richard Gallen on his experience studying Spanish and how he wished his teacher would have corrected him more.
