"The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame
Chapter 1. THE RIVER BANK (Part 1-excerpt)
The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.

Making Peach Jam

by Kindrey Doyle
My family and I have just arrived
home from our annual summer vacation to Kelowna where we spend a week staying
on the shores of Lake Okanagan.
The climate there is very hot and
very dry, so our days are mainly spent swimming, biking, and playing on the
beach. This particular region of British
Columbia, is known as “the Okanagan” and is also famous for wineries and
orchards. Our holiday usually coincides
with the cherry, apricot and peach harvest, so we always choose a day toward
the end of our trip and spend a couple of hours picking peaches at a local farm
to bring home. The peaches are amazing,
big, beautiful in colour, and exceptionally delicious. We keep as many as we can in the fridge so
that they don’t spoil, and every day take a few out to ripen so that we may
enjoy them for many weeks.

The Linguist: The Start of the Journey
by Steve Kaufmann
Happy the man who, like Ulysses, has made a fine voyage, or has won the Golden Fleece, and then returns, experienced and knowledgeable, to spend the rest of his life among his family!
– Joachim du Bellay (1522-60), French poet
A LANGUAGE ADVENTURE
The Start of the Journey
Language learning is a form of travel, a journey of discovery. I started traveling when I was very young and have always found travel stimulating. A true linguist needs to be adventurous and to overcome the fear of the unknown. To illustrate this, let me tell you my story.

Letters and Emails
www.thelinguist.com
Dear Steve,
Thanks for your message. I am really enjoying this program. It is helping me in my difficulties that I have with my listening. Also I have learned new words that now I can understand when I am listening to someone. I am practicing the pronunciation, and for me this is the hardest part, but I am trying.
Simone Morales,
Burnaby, British Columbia
