I've noticed in a few posts/thread of people making reference to items they'd wish they brought with them from home, photos etc as the learners apparently go ape for that kind of thing. I've also noticed in the for sale forum alot of people selling toddler books etc.

Is this kind of stuff really useful out there? Could anyone recommend or suggest items of realia to bring out. I'm thinking about leaflets of local attractions around my area, that sort of thing. Would you suggest picking up 'My First...' type of books or story/spoken word type stuff?

I've used authentic menus, as well as newspaper classified ads brought from home, for different activities in the classroom.

When they complain about how hard the English is, I just tell them, "Well, this is the real thing."

Thank you both for unlocking the secrets of the universe. Now, I know why I post here. I think there is a high probability you both fall into the latter category.
