The Word of the Month
by Andrew Arnon, Benjamin Levy, Jim Sheppard
Published monthly since 2010, The Word of the Month is a short, irreverent focus on words and terms in the headlines. The format combines original artwork along with words, definitions, examples and expressions from members of the Gymglish creative team. Each monthly entry is translated into French, German and Spanish, though the goal is to amuse and educate the reader with accessible, practical, modern English.
Uncle Steve’s Country Home
by Teboho Moja
This is the story of Kaelo who travels from his hometown of Johannesburg in South Africa to visit uncle Steve’s house. The term uncle is used as a form of respect traditionally to an elder close to the family even if they are not blood relatives. Uncle Steve’s house is in the Catskills Mountains, a large area in the southeastern portion of the U.S. in the state of New York. A beautiful “Carnet de voyage” from the perspective of a 10-year-old child as he discovers many new sceneries and animals living in this part of the world and compares them with the wildlife that he knows best back home. Some of the animals are only found in the Us and not in South Africa.
