Добрий день! Чи є у нас тут батьки, чиїм дітям 9-17 років?

Ми зараз проводимо дослідження, щоб покращити нашу програму для дітей, і дуже хочемо з вами поспілкуватися. Це буде розмова до 30 хв онлайн у зручний для вас час. Ми розпитаємо про те, що вас турбує, як ви обираєте освітні проєкти для дітей, чи мотивовані ваші діти до вивчення англійської та інше.

🩷 У знак вдячності за ваш час та допомогу ми подаруємо вам спеціальний сертифікат від giftmall, який можна використати у багатьох магазинах та закладах (номіналом 500 грн).

➡️ Будемо вам надзвичайно вдячні, якщо долучитеся! Якщо ви "за", просимо заповнити цю коротку гугл форму, і ми вам напишемо.

P.S. Якщо ви знаєте інших батьків, дуже просимо переслати їм це повідомлення.

Щиро,
Команда ENGin

Spring may be here, but the chilly weather isn’t ready to leave us ❄️

However, despite the cold, this time of year always brings a sense of renewal and fresh beginnings. Just as nature wakes up, we can take the chance to start over by setting new goals, refreshing our minds, and welcoming change 🌸

How are you planning to start anew this spring?

Spring is on the calendar, and that means it’s time to clean up🌷

Let's declutter, organize, and perhaps question why we have an entire collection of mugs in the bedroom when we only use a few😂

To assist you in this process, we've prepared a checklist to guide your spring cleaning. Also, please find
this Quizlet with all the vocabulary from the checklist inside.

How’s your spring cleaning going? What unexpected finds have you come across?
