Meet Sam

Dear reader,

My mother's vision of the future is that she hopes to be able to sit on a cloud and continue watching what happens on earth when she is no longer amongst us. She turns 86 next month.

Maxime writes, "The future concerns everyone, it does not matter how old we are."
Maxime is 19 years old.

Cléa made a video and asked four simple questions for the Tuesday Get Together Group. The subject is AI in education. The ages range from 16 to 61.

No matter how old we are, where we live, or what we do, we are all connected by one thing.

Questions.

Oh, and by the way, I'd like you to meet Sam. You'll find him a little further down.

I am looking forward to meeting you all again next week.

Best regards

Frank

Hello Sam!

AI will not help you learn English. But, if used properly, it will give you ideas in English, to use in English, to communicate in English. Humans can communicate. This is what we must preserve. I'd like you to meet Sam. You can meet him here.

From Mary & Frank's Kitchen

Some of you who come or, in the past, have come to our home for classes have always been intrigued by the aromas making their way from our kitchen....and have asked what we generally cook. So, here I lift the lid a little.

This week: Rick Stein's Seafood Linguine. Click here for the recipe.
