Learning English : the Angers company Speaky Planet suggests a good resolution before school starts

The interest of Angers regarding English is not contradicted. An initiative coming from a little company consists in making easier for pupils to learn than language. Speaky Planet has recently displayed a series of games which deal with the main aspects of daily life : sports and hobbies, the kitchen, etc. Through little scenarios, the young user becomes familiar with the vocabulary useful to speak fluently. With a daily practice of 10 mn, about 200 news wors may be learnt each month. All the games have been monitored by English teachers and the texts are read by English actors. The prices of subcription are cheap (55 € for the whole year) in comparison with the 2012 School Return Benefit.

 Many opportunities exist in Angers to learn English or to improve one's level. Private companies like Wall Street Institute as well as public organizations like the Municipal Institute or the Angers Free Time University deliver English lessons and the crowd doesn"t decrease. Persons coming from English speaking countries offer courses to very young children and Angers is one of the rare medium French cities to host an English Language Library and a department of an American university (Saint-Edward University).

The Angers town hall has itself choosen a English sounding brand, Angers Loire Valley, to promote the region abroad. And the next edition of the Accroche-Coeurs will give a large part of the programm to England. There is also in down town a litte tea room where Englihs is (only) spoken My Favourite Place.
