Re: Hello and happy new year to everyone!
Thank you very much! I'll go check them up right away.
Also, I have a question about the "do" in your reply.
"The BBC do a weekly lesson too."
Why not use "does"?

Re: Hello and happy new year to everyone!
In British English we tend to use plural verbs and pronouns for collective nouns, including companies. Americans tend to use the singular.
