A word from the Editor

Unbound is back! Back too are our loyal teachers who have been holidaying, travelling and summer schooling around the world. There are plenty of fresh faces too so make new teachers feel at home when you see them. However long you've been here, days or years, we are almost as glad to see you as your students will be. Good luck in your classes and enjoy everything Moscow has to offer!

Once upon a time, one great poet, Johan Wolfgang von Goethe, as well as another no less famous poet, William Shakespeare, asserted that if you don't know a foreign language you don't know your own! At one time in Russia, one man thought that this was good advice so he followed it and discovered a market for learning languages. Finally he developed the idea and said: if you don't know foreign culture you don't know your own either. And so he founded a language school. From that time on in Russia many people from every quarter of the world have been meeting each other and learning much that is new, including culture and languages. Being guided by the desire for knowledge they founded a journal for mutual assistance and called it UNBOUND.

Nowadays, the journal has got its own history. History, according to its definition, is quantitative and qualitative. This new size for the "five-year-old kid" has a completely new structure and topics which we will revise every month to prove the statement that if your clothes don't suit you anymore it means not only growth but development as well.
