"The WJEC views Talking Dice as an innovative initiative that will assist in stimulating a range of students in variety of subjects that have oral requirements. Talking Dice will be of benefit in language subjects, particularly at entry level."
Sophie Cunningham - Primary Teacher

"I cannot praise Talking Dice enough! They are a 'must have' for all teachers, as they give children the opportunities to have fun whilst learning. The dice are big, bright and colourful, and immediately capture the interest of the pupils, which is imperative when teaching."
Brendan Culligan - Head of English
Froebel College of Education
"Every so often, simple but great teaching ideas are created. Talking Dice is one such powerful teaching aid that should be in all our schools."
Bryson Wood - Head of Modern Languages
St. Christopher's School - Kingdom of Bahrain
"Talking Dice are quite a revolutionary
idea, and have provided fun, spontaneity, competition and plenty of volume to my teaching. The vast rage of complexity levels, to say nothing of the number of permutations, never ceases to amaze me."
I.C.Maun MA MPhil - Lecturer
University of Exeter
"Simple in conception, yet almost infinitely versatile in their application, Talking Dice enables learners to acquire any language in a variety of ways, and to practise it in a context that makes learning interesting, efficient, and fun. From simple naming of objects to the construction of sentences, dialogues, and dramas, Talking Dice take the learner through a progressive set of exercises and activities, which teach and reinforce language."
Nigel Norman - P.G.C.E. Modern Foreign Language Tutors
University of Wales, Swansea
"Talking Dice are suitable for all language learners of all abilities, from young children acquiring their mother tongue, to pupils learning a second language, to PGCE modern language students improving their subject knowledge, to adult learners. No adaptation is required for them to be used for any language, and they can genuinely increase spontaneous speech and learner confidence. This is truly an ingenious idea. Practising grammar has now become a fun exercise! "
Mrs Almut Stanley
IATEFL
"The dice are fabulous, particularly as they can be used for any language. I teach both ESOL and German, and I'm always glad when resources can be multi-functional."
Theresa Newlands - Language Teacher - SEN
The Cedar School for the Physically Handicapped
"I use Talking Dice in my French lessons with pupils who have moderate or severe learning difficulties. The visual, tactile and kinaestehic aspects of Talking Dice all aid their understanding, memory, and speaking skills. I ordered the dice one afternoon, and they were in school the next day - brilliant service, or what?"
