Hiya all- Have been informed that there is a new website called Grow Story Grow which uses stories to teach languages. It's free to have a play around with until September! Don't know if you've heard of Tails of the unexpected but it's from the same person- Val Thornber
Use the website below and register- you'll then hear when new stories are available!

Here is the information I received:

I am delighted to inform you that a unique collection of GrowstoryGrow’s wonderful stories has just been published by Beelingua Products Ltd (makers of Little Tails of the Unexpected).
The stories are all designed to help primary school children effectively learn a foreign language.
Each story has sentence-building tasks, games, fun lesson plans and many other useful resources.
All of these stories are currently available “Free of Charge” for a trial period.
COMING SOON - over 100 extra stories will be available in many languages including German, Italian, Urdu, Russian, Hindi, Portuguese, Arabic and Polish.
Over the course of the next few months we will be regularly publishing these new stories. If you would like us to tell you about these new publications you need to subscribe to our newsletter.
Please forward this email to parents, teachers and friends who you think may find GrowStoryGrow stories useful. Why not try out the stories with your children TODAY and please let us have any feedback by sending an email to Valerie Thornber (creator of GSG):

Hiya Barbara

Wonder why you couldn't contact her- have just checked email and it's the one I've got. When Val sent me the email I asked about logins and she said it better for people to do it themselves so they will get updates if they registered but also said they/ you could use the one she gave me which is
