As the Leicester award for online networking that I am currently undertaking draws to a close, here is a video presentation of my reflections on my progress.
Please have a listen, and excuse the poor audio!

Presenting faux-pas!
Today I took part in a Leicester Award (see previous posts) Webinar, aka virtual workshop and lecture, on the subject of 'How to best present'. It was particularly useful as it not only gave information on the structure of a presentation, the dynamics and the content, but also the use of visual aids.
This video shown in the Webinar particularly stuck a chord with me, especially after sitting through many Powerpoint presentations that made ALL of the errors mentioned during my school years. It made me think, similarly to social media, Powerpoint is something that has been there practically all of my schooling life, but rarely has it been used right (even by teachers!). The humour in this video, makes it even more memorable! Enjoy!

Studying Abroad
As any linguist will tell you, studying in the country of the language that you're learning, makes the world of difference. So as part of my degree I am doing just that.
From September 2013 I will be studying at the Université d'Avignon, in the south of France and then in February I will move to Barcelona, to study at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona: UAB.
These are adventures that I am extremely excited about and I know that they will be a brilliant opportunity to not only improve my French and Spanish Language respectively, but also my independent organisational skills and my ability to adapt to new situations as they rise.
So feel free to take a look at my travel blog!
