3 January 2012

Whether you're local and listen to The English Show on FM, or located further afield with access to our weekly programmes online, the entire Team would like to wish you a peaceful and prosperous 2012.

And just to get you in the mood to hit the New Year running, our weekly Show includes a new feature: Learn a German word - both High German and Baseldüütsch and coming to you courtesy of our new sponsor. The Bénédict language school offers flexible language courses using blended learning. And the good news is, they're right here in Basel!

And, of course, there's all your old favourites, including Basel News, Sports Report, upcoming events for the Basel area in the Cultural Calendar, plus leisure-time events in local communities in France and Germany in the eponymous Over the Borders.

Be inspired by Martin DaubneyOur very first guest of the New Year is Martin Daubney of Inspire Coaching, helping individuals find their true personal and professional potential. Just the job as many of us consider the New Year's resolutions we made just a few days ago.

Remember our coverage last year of Basel Connect? They're a new organisation of newcomers and longer term expats launched last year to help people settle into their new lives here in Basel. From those early beginnings, they've now organised BaselConnectsPeople - two events on 19 and 21 January designed to match the common interests of locals and expats. Want to know more?
