Hi, I’m Iris, and I just quickly want to introduce myself and to extend a warm welcome to the Brida Journal’s Brida at Home feature.
What can you learn from me?
Well, initially, I’ll give you some basic housekeeping advice. All of which is, of course, in English.
Therefore, you can also enhance your English by reading my articles. They contain vocabulary regularly used at home.
But that’s not all. My texts are also filled with phrases used for giving advice, recommending, and even providing instructions.
Then, Mary, one of my co-workers, creates an audio file. She’s a lot better at it than I am. Finally, our boss, Frank, creates some language lessons for you to work with.
I hope you will find my work beneficial in helping with your housekeeping, and that Frank and Mary’s contribution will help you communicate in English with confidence.
If you have any questions or recommendations, then please contact me at iris@brida.eu.
I would love to hear from you.
Thanks, and take care.
Iris.

At first glance, wooden cooking utensils appear to be very attractive. However, this quickly changes when they are used for cooking. Sauces, soups, and pan dishes are tough on utensils.
