These full-color updates of the classic textbooks Fundamental Spoken / Written Chinese are a masterpiece. The grammar explanations in the Spoken Chinese book are the best I've ever found. Everything is explained so simply and beautifully: amzn.to/3YLtIMD

People passing through central London in the 1990s wouldn't have dreamed how much different it would be and feel only a few decades later. It may have the same roads and buildings, but it's a very different, and less homely place. ⏳️

Felicito @andyburnham, líder do Partido Trabalhista e novo Primeiro-Ministro do Reino Unido. Desejo-lhe pleno êxito à frente do governo britânico.
O Brasil e o Reino Unido mantêm relações há mais de 200 anos e construíram uma parceria moderna e dinâmica. Conte com meu empenho para reforçar nossas relações e ampliar o comércio e os investimentos bilaterais.
Trabalhemos juntos também para fortalecer a democracia, o multilateralismo e o desenvolvimento sustentável.
Estou certo de que poderemos dar novo impulso à amizade entre nossos países e contribuir para um mundo mais próspero, justo e pacífico.

I wish England a thumping victory tonight in the rigged World Cup against the cheats of Argentina. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Norway’s low-cost carrier lost its cheeky wager with British Airways after the quarter-final loss, but celebrated England’s win with a new flash sale on Norwegian and England destinations

La Tapisserie de Bayeux a pris le chemin de Londres. Ce trésor millénaire qui raconte notre histoire commune traverse la Manche. Merci aux équipes qui ont rendu possible ce geste historique de confiance, de culture et d’amitié.
Vive l’Entente cordiale !

Wow. Was that the best performance since our 66 final. Must be close. After a long day at Wimbledon yesterday I watched the game early this morning. Everyone was outstanding. Bellingham Kane Gordon Rice Pickford all brilliant. The whole team stood up. Onwards and upwards now.
