After sending out the Japanese newsletter last night, I realised that there are now more than 4,000 people signed up for the GE newsletters. That makes us one of the most popular Yahoo groups ( even more popular than the ETJ, one of my daily reads!) – so thank you very much!

I also had a look round some of the other popular groups and there’s some interesting stuff out there these days. One of the good posts I came across was this one that nicely describes the “Two Language Paradigms” ( the actual article is half way down the age). It goes through the “Traditional” A paradigm of more drilling & grammar, and the more modern paradigm B of communication. The question is, which are you, A or B? Have a read and see.
