Who is Cool English for?

I just told you! It's for 18-25's who already speak some English. But actually, you'll probably find it's for YOU too, no matter who you are, because we've found that no matter the age or sex, people who are interested in learning English will ALL find Cool English useful.

Are Cool English and Hot English related?

Once upon a time...oh sod it, yes they are! Cool English started as Hot English, but after a year or so, decided to go cool. Some like it hot, but everyone loves it cool!

Who is WHJ?

Ask the FSB, they know all.

Is Cool English difficult?

Depends what you mean by "difficult". It might be difficult for a mouse to read; and it might be difficult for a goat to eat; but for any learner of English, there's something in the magazine that they'll enjoy. Some bits will be difficult, and they will make you improve your English. Some bits will be easy, and they will help you to maintain your English.

What is Cool English about?

Everything you ever wanted to know about the English speaking world, but were afraid to ask. Seriously.
We've got stuff on history and on geography; we've got articles on actors and musicians; we've got interviews with top business people, and articles about travelling and living abroad; we've got country profiles, where you can find out all kinds of cool things about countries which you'll never find anywhere else. We've got it all!

Who writes for Cool English?

We have an army of writers, dotted all around the world. We've got New Zealanders, Englishmen (both posh and common), we've got Scots, and Welsh, and Irish, and Americans...oh, the list is endless. They all live their own special lives, but when the call from Cool Towers goes out, they listen in, like Batman to the Batsignal, and write articles galore for us to feed to you, dear readers.

Who records the voices for Cool English?

We have monthly recording sessions, one for each CD, and we try to get a variety of "voices" along for each recording. We've got the regulars, Doug Pullar, WHJ, and Peter Dyson (more about them on the About Us page). And we've got the others, who come every now and then, or who emerge from nowhere to record one or two CDs for us, and then disappear again.

Where can I buy Cool English?

Loads of places. If you're in St Petersburg, and in doubt, go to Bukvoed. Otherwise, go to this page, and look up your city.

Where can I download more free stuff from Cool English?

Well, apart from the Exercise Packs, Magazine PDFs and CD Audio Samples pages, you can't, sorry. We think we've given enough free stuff for you to decide if you want to buy the magazine or not.
