Letters to the Editor

We're always interested to hear from you. On this page you'll find a selection of comments readers have made about MED Magazine.

'This is just to say how stimulating and instructive my students on the three-year degree course in Mediazione Linguisitica e Culturale at the State University of Milan find the OnestopEnglish materials. I should also like to add how informative and even sometimes instructive I, as their teacher, find the various articles by the contributors to MED Magazine. Thank you for providing such funds of knowledge that offer us all something!'
Thomas (Italy)

'Thank you for the interesting articles you include in your webzine. I am a teacher of English as a second language and I really take advantage of the material and use it with my advanced students. They are really fruitful and insightful. Thanks once more.'
Marisa (Argentina)

'Thank you for the wonderful articles. I enjoy reading them.'
Maya (India)

'Thanks very much for the great material and outstanding quality. My students have learnt a lot. Thanks a lot once again.'
Galia (Colombia)

'I'm so glad to read your wonderful magazine. The MED Magazine site and its information are very helpful to me, and I'm sure it is so to everyone ... Wishing you every success and all the best in your wonderful project.'
Ziad (Canada)

'Thanks very much for the printer-friendly versions.'
Marcela (Czech Republic)

'Thank you for the section on 'idiomatic expressions'. I find them very useful.'
Ewa (Poland)

'I've read quite a few of your articles about words, and find them to be most informative, amusing and helpful. Thank you very much. The one from Diane Nicholls about actual, eventual, important was very interesting. So much so, that I wanted to print it and keep it, for reference.'
Roger (Australia)

'Like all the other onestopenglish sites, the Macmillan English Dictionaries one is excellent too! Thanks for so much useful and interesting information.'
Renee (Croatia)

'I very much enjoy your magazine!'
Nina (United Kingdom)

'I really enjoyed the May issue of your magazine, particularly the articles by Diane Nicholls, which were extremely interesting and well written - quite inspirational! It is nice that you can click on a link to find out about the author too. Keep up the good work!'
Ricky (United Kingdom)

'I have read the MED Magazine for the first time and I am writing to congratulate you and your team on your fabulous work.'
Francisco (Spain)

'I have really been enjoying the columns - and the new word of the month! Thanks to the contributors! Your webzine is excellent. I have recommended it to several colleagues and have had lots of good feedback. An excellent resource for teachers and students of linguistics.'
Julia (Australia)

'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)
