On Sunday we were back in the East End, giving Cockney lessons to visitors at the Roman Road Summer Festival. Our launch even made the news! As well as a feature on ITV London News on Thursday evening, our language expert Nat appeared on London Live with chairman Dick to talk about the app, and was interviewed with actor Patrick by Robert Elms on Friday morning for BBC Radio London (listen from 1 hour 40 mins onwards). It was a fantastic day – thank you to everyone who got involved. They had fun playing the games, and were keen to show our chairman Dick what they’d learnt.Īnd we finished with a good old-fashioned East End knees up, led by our Pearly King and Queen, pianist Mick Yarrow and the voice of uTalk Cockney, Patrick Mackervaie. Some children from Olga Primary School popped in to put the uTalk app to the test.
