On 15th April we start publishing Issue 0 of Verbeia enthusiastically and with a bit of excitement that a project like this provokes. At present, in a world where economy, business and technology are rising and trendy values on the rise, creating a journal of English Studies were far more of a dream than reality. However, we insist on pushing forward Humanities and contributing for Philology to never stop being an object of study, research, teaching and debate. Love for words, texts and books is the reason for a group of professors and researchers to work together to get this issue off the ground. We wish our passion for linguistics and literature to be transmitted and spread the evidence that, if we live a wordless existence without texts or books, we lack imagination, free thought and humanity. 
Verbeia is supported by a generous and excellent Scientific Board aware of such a reality that provides Issue 0 with impeccable contributions. In this first issue, today we aim to introduce ourselves to start a new long and fruitful way. 
Verbeia is born, not only thanks to the Editorial Board, but also to the personal tenacy of the Dean of the Faculty of Education of Social Sciences and Education of UCJC, Don José Antonio Fernández
Bravo. We are specially thankful to all members of the Scintific Board, for their faithful trust and sincere confidence. Their sincere support will permit, from now onwerds, to read this Journal of philological studies. We want to make it extensive, but not end up on the scrap heap of history. And we want to reach all people who have been supporting our project, one way of another.
