@Xris32 Shuggie has a place in my heart forever! 🥲

Excellent overview/ideas here from @FunkyPedagogy It’s also encouraged me to reflect on some recent (and rather brilliant) MFL teaching I have observed and the effectiveness of teaching grammar when learning another language. Surely we should be doing this more in all subjects?

@FunkyPedagogy @MissEmzyBooBoo Ahh amazing - thank you! 🙌🏼
