ניוזלטר אנגלית 13 - הצעות מהקוראים

Hi everyone!

We’re sorry for not staying in touch¹ during the last few months.

We’ve been busy listening to your ideas about how to improve²our English Newsletter. We really appreciate³ getting your feedbacks⁴ and we’re going to try to restructure⁵ our Newsletters according⁶ to your requests⁷.

Here are just a few of the suggestions⁸ our readers have sent us:

1a) “You should place⁹ the new vocabulary¹⁰ closer to the text so that you don’t have to go looking for it each time you come across¹¹ a difficult¹² word.”

1b) “Instead¹³ of translation exercises from English to Hebrew, it would be better to have exercises where you have to complete sentences with words from the text. It’s always better to learn vocabulary in its natural context¹⁴.”

1c) “Please add comprehension¹⁵ and follow up questions¹⁶after each article to help create¹⁷ a more focused reading experience¹⁸.”
