The Language Exchange

Welcome to our Language Exchange! This blog is a platform for my students to publish their own texts in the languages I teach them. I think this might be a good way to motivate them to learn languages. Feel free to comment on the posts. And please be nice. (Every student has written an introductory post, usually accompanied by a photo. You can find them in the archives.)

A pun - by Heiko

Heiko learned the different meanings of the word "late" today:

1. late = after the usual or proper time (He arrived late.)
2. late = deceased (the late Princess Diana)

So Heiko had a funny idea how to employ them both in one sentence:

When you're late, it's too late.

Hello, Heiko, I suppose you are that young man (44) who told us a few days ago that you like the nature and hunting. I can assure you that never it will be too late to increase the knowledge of a second or third language. I'm nearly 71 years old, still learning Spanish - but one day - you are right - it will be too late++ best wishes
