"what's in the shopping trolley dear?"

Shopping in ALDI or LIDL stimulates my language learning experience, but technology plays no part...
If such chains were to follow TESCO's footprints and set up online shopping then we would be knocking down the boundaries of 'A Learning Environment' with full force.

The common argument amongst language learners appears to be that technology doesn't play an important role in their language learning experience, suggesting that they could push on leaving it behind. However impossible learning without technology may be, doing such a thing is only moving in the opposite direction to the world, backwards. As a result of this resentment to change, there will be a negative reflection on the work of the learner.

I embrace diversity in my learning experience with open arms. Amongst the products that I purchased today, not one of them was Irish or English. Germany is the predominant supplier of ALDI's stock, but nonetheless unbeknown to me half my trolley was filled with french and spanish products.

Am I subconsciously drawn to these products because they are made in the countries of my languages of study???

Such a thought intrigues me.

Any day-to-day activity can be transformed into a learning experience if it is driven by determination. So, if you find yourself in ALDI or LIDL in the near future, pay attention to which products you throw in the trolley.

ps: Online shopping with ALDI/LIDL, watch this space....
