A really interesting interview - thank you :-)Now to download Wordbook! We have a whole class set of iPod Touches on trial in schools so it will be useful to see how/if it can be used to help primary children in the UK learn French or Spanish.
It sounds like I need to improve at tagging things though ;-)

Hi Carolrb,

Thanks for your feedback. It's not on the iTunes store at the moment, but if you send me your email at andrew.newton@britishcouncil.org.hk, I will let you know when it will be up.

Andy

hi Andy,

Great interview and very interested to hear about Wordbook. It sounds very similar to a blog post I wrote about what I thought would be the perfect language learning app on a phone! I think it's a fantastic idea.

Will it be coming to any more platforms apart from the iphone/itouch (e.g. Symbian, Android, Maemo)?
