MADRID
A campaign promoting English language lessons at public schools in Madrid has crashed against correct grammar. Titled 'Yes, We want', adverts appear on local TV, buses and posters throughout the city. But language teachers in the nation's capital insist 'there is something missing'. Correctly, the ads should read Yes, we want (something, in this case, to learn English). David Blundell, Director of Communications at the British Council, says that it is not a good idea to mix English and Spanish for communications ormarketing. (Prospero note: Has anyone mentioned this in Gibraltar?)
