In music, when new artists appear, we talk about one-hit wonders and real stars with long-lasting fame and recognition. It’s the same with new words in a language.

Five years ago we posted a collection, an album with photos of billboards. Not great ones, not original or beautiful billboards. They were all printed with ridiculous and horrendous typos. Now we added 11 more photos.

It’s hard to find someone who hasn’t ever seen or heard of these three letters side by side: TED. It’s much easier to find someone who, though they regularly watch or listen to TED presentations, has never wondered what TED stands for.

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.

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...
