Languages on Line

Many children and parents are asking me for the web address for this fabulous site: here it is again! The Education Department has an on line resource for children learning second languages.This site has a huge range of on line, interactive games and print activities in Italian and other languages. You may have older children studying French, German, Indonesian or Chinese who also might find this site a valuable and fun way of studying the language at home http://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/languagesonline
