You might have noticed a change to this website's appearance. That's because Weebly did something that broke the navigation sub-menus, and they told me that I had to change the site's theme to make sub-menus work again.
So just remember the menu is now at the top (in the desktop version of the site) and if you notice some problems (like odd colours, or instructions related to the old theme), please be patient until I have time to fix them all.
Update 2016-06-12: Added section with image & vocab lists from Oxford Dictionaries.
Here's a big post with lots of images, info, vocabulary and audio on the layout of an office: the different rooms and areas, and how they're used.
