Awesome and slightly surreal start to the year with everyone's favourite green owl Duo in Westminster! Excited to have more than 100 parliamentarians supporting the @duolingo #WestminsterLanguageChallenge learning 23 languages for a chance to win £20,000 for charity.

Worth reading @thetimes interview of @duolingo founder and CEO @LuisvonAhn if you want to understand what makes Duolingo tick. TLDR - mission driven (open up access to education), combined with using the latest technology and don’t forget to make it fun!.

Bittersweet moment getting together with the @NCSTrust board for a last supper. We shared reflections on the massive impact that NCS has had on 1M+ young people across the UK and many more communities, local and national charities, parents and those who worked on the programme.

Hi @British_Airways you’ve been in touch to say that I can rebook or potentially cancel my flight today, but it’s not possible to contact you. The change can’t be made online (why?) & when I call the number it says you’re too busy to take the call. Please advise what I should do.
