Olay Gazete, a London-based newspaper serving the Turkish community in the capital and beyond, has just published details of the latest installment of English-Turkish puzzles from Scribo Crossmots. For those amongst you learning Turkish or if you are Turkish, learning English this book represents hours of fun and entertainment while improving your language skills.

In a slight change of direction, I have now published two more books, the first is a German/Turkish crossword book that will be targetted at the Turkish population in Germany and thus sold through Amazon Germany and my website www.crossmots.de and the second is to target the US market, with American English spelling and the Brazilian market using the Brazilian variant of the Portuguese language. www.crossmots.com will be updated next.

If you are German and learning English or English learning German and to complicate matters you need a little help due to your eyesight, then you might appreciate this book of English-German crosswords that is printed in a large font on big pages. If this is the case, you might well want to buy such a publication. See https://www.crossmots.com/the-german-series for further details.

This book of English-Spanish Crosswords, Codewords and WordSearch puzzles is available via my website at www.crossmots.com/the-Spanish-Series It has a reduced vocabulary list which helps for those with a basic and intermediate understanding of a second language be it English or Spanish.

This English-Turkish book is the first of six puzzle books with a mixture of Crosswords, Codewords and WordSearch puzzles all with different language combinations. In this book to make life easier for those learning Turkish or English I have used a reduced vocabulary list which is described as easy-to-medium.

You might like to consider buying this English-French crossword book for yourself or for somebody else as a gift. See www.crossmots.com for this or for the other 40 dual-language crossword books now available.

A series of 25 dual-language crosswords primarily written for learners of English as a second language (ESOL). However English-speakers can also benefit from learning other languages in this series, especially French, Spanish and German.

Unashamedly, these books focus on building vocabulary in a second language.

Nearly all of the crosswords, with the exception of Russian have mixed-language clues and answers within the same crossword. However, for Russian all clues are in one language and all answers in the other. To add interest the books also contain Wordsearches and crosswords in different styles, mostly British, but there are some American styles, barred and others.

Finally, these bilingual crosswords are known as Crossmots. From the English 'Cross' and the French word for 'Word'- 'Mots'. They provide many hours of fun and are great at learning vocabulary.

Book number 38 is now available with Amazon, this time the book comprises 100 Greek-English crossword puzzles. This is a break from the normal pattern, all the clues are in Greek and all the answers are in English.
