Editor’s Note [easy]

Here at LbT-languages we are constantly looking for new and enjoyable ways to turn the English language into a trusted friend for you. It is our aim that English becomes a language you wish to embrace, like a well-fitting coat that you would wear on a cold winter’s day, such as the ones we will be facing now that the seasons have changed once more and snow and ice are knocking on our door again.

So we have come up with yet another new learning tool, and one that we hope you will all enjoy: welcome to the the official LbT-newsletter!

Inside, you will find interesting stories, even interviews with noted personalities, self-study tips, and plenty of new vocabulary. For your convenience, all the articles have been graded according to the learning level of our students. For beginners, translations of new vocabulary have been added, whereas more advanced levels will find their new words explained to them through English-language definitions, synonyms and antonyms.

We plan to have one LbT-newsletter every three months for now.

Since Christmas is just around the corner, in this issue you will find helpful tips on how to write Christmas cards to your clients and friends in the Anglophone world, as well as an interesting article about how Christmas is celebrated abroad.

Those of you who have been to our courses know that we always strive to fulfil your desires when it comes to language learning, be it through fun and interesting courses or through selecting only the most highly qualified trainers. This is your newsletter, written by us for your enjoyment. We would welcome your feedback, especially if you have suggestions and ideas as to what you would like to see in future issues.

For now, I hope you will have a wonderful time reading and working with this issue of our newsletter.

With best wishes from everyone here at LbT-languages
