This week we’re talking all about el medio ambiente and the small changes that can make a big difference. You’ll listen to our podcast about recycling in Spain, learn useful tips to help you do your bit for the environment and build your vocabulary with a comprehensive list of essential recycling and environmental terms.
You’ll also find a bilingual reading about city parks 🏞️ and the important role they play in making our cities greener, healthier and more enjoyable places to live.
To put your new vocabulary into practice, there are plenty of activities covering environmental topics to help you build confidence while learning Spanish.

In memory of Cécile Janty-Davies
We are very sorry to share that our colleague from the French team, Cécile Janty-Davies, has passed away after a long battle with cancer.
She was the creator of original papier mâché models of Kwizbot and his companion, Robetta. A much loved member of the KwizIQ team, French learners will remember her thoughtful, encouraging answers on the French Q&A forum, where she helped many learners over the years by answering over 5000 questions.
Her patience, expertise and kindness touched so many people, and she will be greatly missed.
