Exhibiting this week at a military conference. It has been interesting to see where there is the most interest. Foreign films are clearly # 1 - for maintaining and improving proficiency, especially for colloquial vocabulary, and for learning more about the culture. That interest was not surprising. What did surprise me was the interest in foreign language editions of classic comics - Spiderman, Batman, GI Joe, etc. I am now researching foreign language editions - look for them soon on our website at www.wor.com - if you know of any - especially for tough to find languages - Russian, Arabic, Mandarin, Serbian, etc. - let me know!
