Before applying any changes, you must switch to the Edit mode by clicking on the specific button.

Dear Marieke,

Thank you for your reply. Sadly, this does not work for me.

I did not subscribe to any forums or discussions to begin with, and I see no way to delete my account or to fully unsubscribe. My settings are like attached, but I still get all sorts of emails.

Hello Marieke and everyone,

Thank you for sharing these interesting blog topics! I didn’t know there were so many different blogs available here. I love reading about culture and learning new English expressions, so I’m excited to explore these articles, especially “Greetings from Around the Anglophone World” and “Funny, Strange, Memorable or Life-Changing Travel Stories.”

Since I am living abroad, sometimes I do feel homesick, so I will also check the “Homesick – the surprising gift from living abroad” blog. I believe it can be helpful.

Thank you for creating such useful resources. I look forward to practicing more English with the community!

Warm wishes,
Princi Tanwar
