Hey everyone, my name is @SumatraNate. It is an honor to be guest posting and sharing more about the @EnglishWithNate Words of the Week!

Let’s LEAP right in – Learn, Encourage, Acknowledge, and Practice.

LEARN

We had a great group of words this week. If you have not had a chance to review our most recent words, I am sharing their meanings below:

• Replete (adjective) - full of
• Nuzzle (verb) - to cuddle or snuggle
• Hasten (verb) – to hurry, accelerate, or rush
• Harbingers (noun) – bringers of warning

To read example sentences, be sure to check out @Definitions on D.Buzz, where I share new word four days a week – Monday through Thursday.

If you prefer to listen to the Words of the Week, watch this video!

ENCOURAGE

My encouragement for the week is:
Master just one word today (or this week). Just one!

Don't just learn the definition of a word. Learn how to use the word!

• Write sentences using the new word.
• Use the new word while talking with other people.
• Practice today so that you can remember the new word tomorrow.

Language is not like a test that we only study for to receive a good grade and then forget about the information. We learn and remember new words so that we can communicate better. Becoming a better communicator can be life-changing.

ACKNOWLEDGE

Earlier this week, I sent out a post called let's create a story from @EnglishWithNate on @DBuzz.

Today's shout out goes to @captaincryptic and @manniman, who commented on that post. Great job!

I believe it is important to acknowledge people's efforts and improvement. How do I plan to do that?

• I want to showcase English learners who are practicing, improving, and becoming better communicators. I hope that I will be able to add your name here soon.
• I will be rewarding quality, authentic engagement with ENGAGE tokens.

PRACTICE

It is time to practice. Let's play continue the story again.

Fill in the blanks to complete your version of the story.

• When the harbingers arrived at the city, they told to the people to hasten because _______________.
• The message the harbingers delivered was replete with _______________.
• The children of the town were so scared, they nuzzled closed to their parents and began to _______________.

Thanks for stopping by and letting me be a part of your English journey!

Have a blessed day and keep practicing English! I look forward to the next time we can meet again!


Signing off!

More About SumatraNate:
I am a native English speaker from the United States who has a passion for helping people become good communicators. While living in Indonesia, I taught conversational English.

Trust me! I understand how hard it is to learn a new language. I have experience learning a new language and interacting with people who are learning a new language.

Communication is an important part of being human. Since it impacts our everyday lives, we need to understand the goal of communication. I believe that the goal of communication is to “hear and be heard.”

• “hear” = carefully listening to what other people say
• ”be heard” = speaking in such a way that people understand our message

The ultimate goal is to understand one another.
