Konnichiwa!!! Languagelab is proud to announce that we will be introducing a new and fully translated Japanese version of our current website. We now also accept payments in Japanese Yen, so it’s even easier to sign up with Languagelab! To celebrate this, the Languagelab mascot La-la is coming out of hiding. Can you guess what La-la looks like? A cat? A two-legged horse? Do you think you know? Send your guesses as a reply to this blog and the closest answer will receive a unique virtual cuddly La-la just for you! There have been rumours of sightings of La-la around the English city for some time now but no-one’s been able to get a good look. The Languagelab teachers are so frustrated by this mystery that they have offered a big reward for the first picture of La-la taken by a student. La-la is very shy and English City is very large. The last sighting was near the Grammar House but who knows where next time? Good luck and see you soon in English City;-)
