English is a dynamic language that is constantly changing. In 2018 alone, the Merriam-Webster dictionary added 850 new terms, meanings and sub-entries. Most of these new words are blendings (a word formed by joining two existing terms), such as mansplaining or brunch. Want help staying up-to-date with this ever-expanding English vocabulary?

Thanksgiving Celebrations
You have surely heard of Thanksgiving (at least in the movies!), one is one of the most well-known American traditions. Every fourth Tuesday of November, Americans observe a large meal with their families (and sometimes a religious service) to commemorate the harvest feast shared by the English colonies with the indigenous Native Americans that lived in the area. The dishes of this national holiday usually feature turkey, pumpkin, potatoes, and cranberries, but many feasts differ from family to family and from culture to culture. The common factor is the objective of this meal: to share a moment with loved ones while giving thanks. Click here to learn more about Thanksgiving!english Entertainment
