Here are a couple we've received already: 'I teach English in Mexico. Since I am American and most of my students’ contacts are with Americans, I teach American usage. Therefore, it was useful to me to read the article on pragmatics in the American English version. … I think I’m going to like your magazine and believe it will be helpful to me and my students. Keep up the good work!' Jim (Mexico) 'Congratulations! There is a lot of good material on the web but this really is special. What can I say, except thanks.' Linda (Israel)
