New words pop up every day and what seemed to be relevant yesterday may disappear for good in our ever-changing world. And also, there are words and phrases that have already existed but a new meaning got attached to them in a new context.

Revision is an indispensable part of learning a language. It helps you remember and reactivate previously covered vocabulary, grammar and structures, thus increasing your confidence, your accuracy and your fluency.
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.
