Nr. 40/1999, the English issue

Dear Reader,
You might have noticed that jetzt is a little different this week. Indeed, this special issue is written entirely in English. "Why?" you might ask. Well, why not? We simply thought it would be a fun idea for the both of us. For starters, we're sure you'll enjoy reading "Kaleidoscope", an exclusive short story by Rebbecca Ray, one of the best Young writers in Great Britain. You will also love going through a couple of interesting interviews printed in their original language. Or maybe you prefer to have a Look at "boys only/girls only"? No problem - all our regular sections are hexe, too. To make it easier for you to understand all the articles, we've included a special vocabulary booklet with the more difficult words, as well as another few useful features.
Finally, our English issue wouldn't be complete without an exercise section, where you can apply your language skills and test your knowledge. So get your pens out now and don't cheat! We hope you'll enjoy the English issue - maybe you'll even pick up a few words along the way... Remember, nobody said learning shouldn't be as much as fun as reading a cool magazine.
Yours sincerely, Marc Deckert & Raphael Honigstein (on behalf of the jetzt editorial team)
