Last week we posted part 1 of our traditional mini-series, Word Of The Year. After 2019’s“climate emergency”, 2020’s “pandemic”, 2021’s “vax”, and 2022’s “Goblin mode”, at the end of 2023, the Word Of The Year was announced by Dictionary dot com: “hallucinate”.
Word Of The Year for 2023, announced by Dictionary dot com, is not a new word. It’s an old word with a new meaning. Each year, trending words and phrases are tracked and analysed. The winner usually sums up in one or two words the most significant event, discovery, crisis or trend of the given calendar year.
It’s one week till Christmas. If you haven’t got to the end of your gift shopping list, you can probably feel the pressure of this countdown.
If white has a superlative form, we can say it’s the whitest December of the decade, maybe the century, so far. Could there be a better excuse to revise and learn winter related phrases, sayings, idioms and quotes?
Every year, around the first days of December, we update our recipe and culinary idea collection for the holidays. Not only can you surprise your family and friends (and maybe even yourself) with edible novelties coming from your kitchen, but by the time you turn off the oven you will have picked up a lot of new vocabulary or revised some almost forgotten words and phrases about ingredients and cooking processes.
We regularly post about playful, relaxing ways to improve your English. You can find blog posts on our website about board games, apps, online games, podcasts, books, movies and series...

Azért indítottuk évekkel ezelőtt ezt a blog topic-ot, hogy arra ösztönözzük a nyelvtanulókat, hogy igyekezzenek kihozni a legtöbbet abból az időből, amit az okostelefonjaikkal a kezükben hűsölnek egy strandon.

For the conscious reader – part II

You arrive home from a week-long holiday, you open your suitcase and the cover of a book stares at you. The cover of a never-opened book that you picked specifically for the holiday that has just ended. I’m sure I’m not the only one who remembers a few book covers like that.

Accents

Have you ever faced the challenge of understanding the local accent in an English-speaking country? However good your English is, and even if you are a teacher of English with years of experience, it can be a humbling experience when you get into a taxi in Glasgow and the driver initiates a casual chat with you.
