他 is a gender neutral term which can mean he or she. If you want to specifty it being a woman you can use the character 她.

I grew up in Devon in the SW of England but studied at The University of Edinburgh. My name is definitely Welsh because my father's family was from there. I have sadly only been there once though.

That was a slip of the tongue, and perhaps because I grew up in England, am used to considering the entire UK as England too, lol.  I find this video really fun and interesting. Check it out:

well spotted. I'll have a look into getting that changed. 

Posted on: Too Much Pressure on Kids (Bridge lesson)

A bridge lesson means it's always going upwards. For example an elementary bridge lesson would be more like a pre-intermediate/lower intermediate level. This lesson is a slightly more difficult intermediate lesson because it contains quite a few specialised vocabulary terms. If you're an intermeidate, it just means you can spend a bit more time pre-studying it and revising it. If you're an upper intermediate, it is a good chance to get some listening practice. We've been meaning to add a pre-intermediate level for quite some time but it requires quite a few changes to the entire system.
