Lesson Download: At The Gym

You will probably be unsurprised to hear that launching a new magazine takes up a great deal of TIME. Loads and loads of time. Issue #2 - www.heremagazine.ca -  is winging its way all over Victoria B.C. Canada as I type this. Hurrah for the Here! team. The community feedback has been incredible!

So...please forgive me as I substitute a new blog post with a second Here! Magazine language lesson, created with personal trainer and word mentor, Sharon Jacobson. Images for Pinterest and viewing, link is to pdf download for personal or classroom use. Enjoy!  (p.s. check out the QR code for direct audio clip - sooooooooo cool.)

It's me! I'm back! Oh, you weren't wondering where I've been? Ah, that's o.k. I'm tough, I'm an ESL teacher...

Actually, my teacher hat is on the hook for the foreseeable future as I wrestle my new project to the ground: Here! Magazine - a language and culture quarterly for women new to Canada. The last six months of building and launching have been inspiring and challenging as I forge new relationships in the newcomer community outside of the classroom and learn the ins and outs of the magazine world. 

One of the mandates of the magazine is to help make language and culture accessible to new Canadians; another is to build cross-cultural understanding through a mutual exchange of knowledge and experience - a two-way welcome wagon, if you will! You can learn more about the content and our vision at www.heremagazine.ca. In the meantime, here is the language lesson from the launch issue of Here! Magazine. It's yours for the classroom, private study, or wherever you need it. Enjoy!
