We have a new section, 'Teachers', which features 'The Teachers' Room'. Top tip if you're a student: watch the series and get your teachers to use some of the ideas.
A new section called 'Teaching Children' - if you are a parent, a carer or someone who spends time with children, check out our animated children's stories and use them to help children learn English.
Our final section is one many of you have asked for – 'Learn with drama'. That's right, over the next few months, we are bringing all of our BBC Learning English dramas to the app – we have some of the best stories and plays from writers like Shakespeare, Jules Verne, Oscar Wilde and Mary Shelley. And we're launching this section in late November 2019 with, appropriately, Charles Dickens's 'A Christmas Carol'.
Download or upgrade our free app today to gain access to all of these new features. And look out for more app treats in 2020...
Happy Christmas everyone from the BBC Learning English team - Ho Ho Ho!
