Like last year, I will be writing regular updates on the Language Perfect World Championships home page throughout the competition so keep your eyes peeled as you may get a mention!
I will also be using social media to promote the competition and would encourage you to post your thoughts and achievements on to the championship blog using the email [email protected]. Feel free to send multimedia attachments so they will be embedded automatically for you as if by magic! You can also leave comments on the Language Perfect Facebook page and tweet using the hashtag #lpwc.
The Language Perfect team has now developed an iPad app for those who want to take part in the Championships on the move too!
I was lucky enough to attend the official launch dinner in Perth, the host city for this year's competition in March, footage of which you can see here. You'll spot me right at the end on the right ;-)
Hear more about the competiton, the certificates and the prizes you can win from the CEO himself, Craig Smith who was nominated as Young New Zealander of the Year. Go Craig!

I look forward to learning about so much new technology. I enjoyed reading your blog about the Language Perfect World Championships and the videos were very imformative.

Hello Mr. Dale,
I am a college student from the University of South Alabama. I have never heard of this competition until now. I went to the website to check it out and watched a few videos about it. This competition is so unique and different! I'm so glad I was introduced to this. Thank you so much for posting about this!
