Hey everyone, my name is @SumatraNate. In this guest post, I will be sharing a special New Years themed 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:
Resolution (noun)
determination
a decision to do or not do something
Acquaintance (noun) - someone you know but are not close with
Resonant (adjective) – echoing
Grandstand (noun) – the main seating area for spectators
To read example sentences, be sure to check out @Definitions on D.Buzz, where I share new a word four days a week – Monday through Thursday.

ENCOURAGE
My encouragement for the week is:
Out with the old. End with the new!
2020 has been a challenging year. The great thing about ending one year and starting another is that you can have a new, fresh start.
Don't focus on the things you were not able to do. Instead, look forward to the things that are ahead of you.
In this upcoming year, I look forward to being apart of your English journey.
ACKNOWLEDGE
It has been my honor and privilege to use the @dbuzz platform to share @definitions with everyone. I look forward to posting more on DBuzz in 2021.
A big shout out to the DBuzz team (@chrisrice, @jacuzzi, @iamraincrystal). Thanks for all that you do!
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. Answer the following questions.
Are you making any New Year's resolutions? YES or NO?
If so, what is the most important resolution you are making?
Thanks for stopping by and letting me be apart 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.
Over and out.
