Languages Work asked the wonderful Year 7 and Year 8 students at Weald of Kent Grammar School why they like using MYLO and we got some great responses...
“Because you have to run past people or squirt them with water balloons when you get something right or they squirt you back when you get something wrong.” - year 7 student
“At the end you get to play games and to recap all the activities you have just done.” - year 7 student
“Because you get to dress up your avatar. You want to get points so you want to do more French to get points.” - ‘doug’
“It’s better than other online sites as it looks more grown up.” - ‘fish224’
“Good drop down menus on activities to choose what you do.” - 'emmie27'

“There are dictionaries to help you.” - 'redsmurf'
“If you don’t get the answer right you can try again.” - 'lizzy_x'
“It’s easy to learn through playing games.” - 'shann_x'

Next, we asked some of the students what they would say to people who think language learning is boring...
“Languages are fun if you do it on the computer so it encourages you to learn.” - year 7 pupil
“To go on MYLO and do the games.” - year 7 pupil
