Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! - two interesting words, Christmas and Holiday - what do they mean exactly? And what exactly is the difference between Happy and Merry? We'll explore that later.

For now, I'd like to draw attention to a popular question: which are the most popular countries to teach in?
Well, for starters, it is a looong list, and an arbitrarily subjective one - depending on the various criteria we use, e.g. demand and supply?
We look forward to receiving your opinions - your very own Top 5 list - please tell us why!

Polyglot vs Hyperglot?
I was recently asked by my friend, Monika, about the difference between a 'hyperglot' and the better-known 'polyglot' . My half-fast made-up answer did not satisfy me, and I began investigating.
We call someone monolingual if they speak one language. Bilingual if they speak two.
Polyglots speak 3 or more languages, and Hyperglots speak at least 6s different languages!
In conclusion: All hyperglots are polyglots - but not vice-versa. Only some polyglots are hyperglots.
