| Language Lessons by Nicholas Richards |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 0. Minimum Female roles = 0. Minimum total with doubling = 4. Minimum total without doubling = 23. No chorus. There are two consistent characters throughout (plus an offstage voice).

| Music | None. |
| Style | Prologue and eleven short comedy skits with no requirements for set. Could be done as written (one continuous performance) or could be split across a sketch show as a running gag. (Contains caricatures, silly accents and foreign words!) |
| Synopsis | Polly and Glott present an informative (and amusing) look into the necessity for having some skill with a foreign tongue. |
