Description

We send vacation greetings and write birthday cards. We use them to simply say "thank you": it's hard to imagine our everyday lives without the postcard. How long has this colorful photo greeting actually been around? What is the secret of its success? And why were there critical voices when the postcard was launched?

Presse und Sprache takes us on a journey through the history of the postcard. The easy reading text with word explanations (from A2 CEFR) and the audio with exercises and suggested solutions can be used in the classroom. 

And when was the last time you sent a postcard?
