New Language Learning Database




There will be a new language learning database available through TexShare. Pronunciator features 80 languages and allows the user to select both which language they speak and what language they want to learn. This allows users to, for example, indicate they want to learn French using a Spanish interface. The number of features and courses available vary by language but can include courses specifically for youths, travel, and advanced learners.
 
The link to the introductory webinar is www.pronunciator.com/pronunciator-webinar/. The video is 30 minutes long and will count as 30 minutes of training credit. All front line staff must watch the video by May 1st. Managers will keep a sign-in sheet and have team members sign-off on it as they’ve watched the video. Once all of your employees have watched the video please, completed sign in sheet will be sent by e-mail to hpltraining@houstontx.gov. 
 
If you have any questions, I recommend e-mailing HPL Training and I so that the appropriate person can respond. (FYI:  At this point there is no plan to drop Mango Languages.)

Sincerely,
 
Marianne Lorio

YOUNG POSITIVE POPS!

HAVE YOU NOTICED A STAFF MEMBER GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND? Share with me what that staff member did, who the staff member is, and your name.  Each staff member will receive a certificate to take and their name placed in a drawing to select a prize from a bin. The prizes will include various stationary items and a mix candy. (This idea is similar to the positive pops done at the Youth Services Meetings Please use the following link to recommend any staff members for Young's Positive Pops. Use the following link to submit your suggestions. Staff will be recognized at the next staff meeting in June! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeqYvKEaIKZvQdcGkl2Q2ngHykUIJ3jL1o3BPK5riRCYlGDFg/viewform
