February Newsletter
Hello Culips Listeners,
I hope that you all had a wonderful January. It seems like time is just flying by, I can’t believe it’s already February (hopefully that means that spring will be here soon.) We have been very busy at Culips preparing some great new episodes. This is our first monthly newsletter so please send us suggestions of things you would like to read about here. Let’s get started with some great news.
Culips—Awarded ESL Site of the Year 2009 by EnglishClub!!!
The year 2010 started with a bang at Culips. We learned that we’ve been honoured by EnglishClub as the ESL Site of the Year for 2009!!! We’re very excited by this news, especially because EnglishClub is such a well recognized leader in the ESL world. The EnglishClub website (EnglishClub.com) is wonderful for both teachers and students of English. If you’ve never been to the EnglishClub website, go check it out now!
Olympics 2010
The 2010 Winter Olympics are happening this month in Vancouver. Which sports events will you be watching? I have to be honest: ever since watching the Hollywood movie Cool Runnings, I love watching the bobsled races! Check out the Culips blog soon to read my post about going to the Olympic Torch Relay when the torch was in Montreal this past December.

Upcoming Episodes
As usual, we have some excellent new podcast episodes that we’ll be uploading soon. In February we’ll be featuring an interview with our Australian friend Alethe. This is the first time we’ve featured an Australian accent on Culips, so make sure you check it out! Alethe is a world traveller with some exciting stories to share.
We also have upcoming episodes about the expressions shrug it off and bug.
We hope you’ve had a good start to 2010! Please remember that if you ever have any questions about the English language or North American culture, you can always email them to us at questions@culips.com.
Happy English learning everyone!
The Culips Team
Of all the podcasts with 'real world' English examples, I like yours the best. Maybe its the fun you put into the lessons. The students can here that in your voices. And they also feel your dedication to what you are doing - it's just not a job you do, but a gift you give to everyone who listens. And while the students like the Lipservice PDFs for all the information it contains, as a teacher I am impressed by the professional effort put into making them. I give the Culips podcast and the Culips crew my highest recommendation, both as a teacher, and a listener.
