Join Us!
Join Us!
We are a group of students from Singapore who wish to make a difference in language learning by setting up this online Buffet featuring linguistic delicacies from all over the world. Most of us here are learning a foreign language. Be it Japanese, French, German, Thai, Chinese... the list goes on. Some of us have been learning the language for some time, while many have only just started. We wish to share our learning experiences, our resources, little tips and anything about language learning with other language learners. As we interact in this online Buffet Party, we learn more effectively and make it more meaningful by sharing with others, just like food tastes better when shared! We know very well that learning a new language is not an easy task. It takes lots of time and commitment. Nevertheless, anyone can experience the joy of learning a foreign language and the sense of satisfaction that comes with mastering it. So join us in the feast now to savour fantastically different languages and add some spice into the learning experience for yourself and others!
