Dear Teacher,
We are living in uncertain times and our thoughts are with those affected by the coronavirus.
The 23rd March marks the 30th anniversary of the release of the film Pretty Woman. The worksheet for Roy Orbison’s theme song and lyric videos to the soundtrack of the film are now on www.tuneintoenglish.com.
The Tune Into English Roadshow
The feedback for the 2019-2020 Tune Into English Roadshow has been very positive, and the presentation (and Irish song!) given by the students at the Scuola Media “Lozer”, Pordenone, was very special. Thank you also for you Whatsapp comments! The tour is scheduled to continue in four regions of Italy this month but, with some of these already cancelled, our fingers are crossed.
See videos from all Roadshow tours, from 2005
