Did something happen ‘in the beginning’ or ‘at the beginning’? And what happened ‘in the end’? Or is it ‘at the end’? 🥺
Likely due to influence of Serbian / Croatian – most of my students’ mother tongue – I also often hear ‘on the beginning’ and ‘on the end’ (na početku, na kraju). 😫
Which one is it? In, on, or at??? 😭
Well, if you're dying to find out, you'll just have to check out my latest blog post! 😘

It may be St George's Day today, but more importantly for me, as a girl born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, it's #Shakespearesbirthday
I painted this #map of all the plays of #Shakespeare to commemorate the 400th anniversary of his death, which was also 23 April. The man was a genius.

It's the spring equinox and the time for another quarterly ebook. This time it's a short story by Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941).
"Departure" is about a young man leaving his small hometown to begin a new life in a big city. As he sets off, thoughts about the familiar people and places fill him with melancholy.
It’s a bittersweet story that I hope you will enjoy! As always, there are vocabulary explanations in the footnotes.
