alan_r_palmer@hotmail.com (for your valuable feedback!) ***************************************************** My name is Alan Palmer. I am a 52 year old Conformity Manager from Lancashire, England. My hobbies are learning languages and playing guitar I've been learning French for 17 years, German for 7 years and I'm also learning Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. Over the years I've realised certain things about learning languages that I think may be useful to others, so my podcasts will be language-based (or musical) and mostly in English, but I will post things in other languages too occasionally. I visit www.livemocha.com quite often which is a good website. I am Alanlancs1 there also. Maybe we can chat in livemocha - in any case you can certainly leave me a message there if you like. I hope you find my podcasts interesting and I hope to post at least one per week. Take care and happy listening!
