Phew! Friends, I don't know about you, but the second week of January has been non-stop activities!
For
many of us, we are returning to our college or universities after
winter break and shifting gears from vacation-brain to student-brain may
be a bit of a challenge.
But worry not! We make things easy for you here in the English community! All your updates and information are right at your fingertips. So, let's get started on this week's round-up so that you can stay "in the know."

Do
you have a favorite word in English? Are there certain words that just
sound, well, adorable to you? Or maybe there's a word you learned that
has a special memory for you. Tell us in the discussion, "What’s Your Favorite English Word?" and find out some of my favorite words from my own language-learning journey.
The
idioms are baaaaaaaaaaaaack! Hahaha! I don't know about you, but I've
been mystified by how "toes", yes, TOES figure largely in English
idioms. These tiny little things! So, if you're also curious to know how
native english speakers pepper their speech with 'toes', check out our
discussion, "Ten Toes Down & Other Fun Idioms" to spruce up your vocabulary.
