Today we turn off the last page of the calendar, and with it we say goodbye to the old year 2023 (which brought us the war between Hamas and Israel, as well as a hundred thousand good news, such as the publication Pan-Spanish Dictionary of Medical Terms) and welcome the new year 2024. It’s a good time to look back and take stock of what the year that is now ending in this year of ours has brought about. Language lab.
