Can you help me out? I am looking for a website for Finnish, Serbian and  Philippines languages.  We have new children from these countries and would appreciate if you could direct me.

That is quite a challenge! I am sure other schools are in the same boat as you. It  is a wonderful opportunity for the rest of the school to find out about other countries.

First may I direct you to James' new Visual timetable on the Kent NGfL Games page.  Download it and install it on your computer as it is a quick and easy way of showing the class, and your new pupils, what lessons they will be doing.  

You can listen to different languages on the BBC site

The following website has links to other websites of languages
http://www.lonweb.org/

Finnish
http://virtual.finland.fi/netcomm/news/showarticle.asp?intNWSAID=25143
(When you are on the page, right click on the link and save the sound file. You could then embed it on a Textease page as part of a matching game.)

I will email you all the other useful websites I know as it is quite a long list for on here.
