Slay, skibidi, sigma…

These are the top three kids’ slang words of 2024! One of them even has no meaning (and likely exists just to confuse older generations 😀).

Do you know these terms? Share your thoughts in the comments!

P.S. You can learn more about these words in this article!

Today, we are continuing our exploration of politics with some intermediate and advanced vocabulary.

Learn and practice in the comment section, and get ready for a quiz next week to test your knowledge ✅

🇺🇸 This week, we feature a word that sparks much discussion: inauguration.

Let's see what the future brings us!

We’re excited to announce that our team will be expanding in 2025, and we currently have three open positions:

🔗 Student Recruitment and Experience Manager
🔗 Operations Associate
🔗 Student and Volunteer Support Agent

These roles are perfect for individuals who are motivated to develop a high-quality nonprofit program, eager to be challenged and grow daily, and passionate about making a difference through our mission 💪

Read more about each position and apply through the links provided above.

If you know someone who would be a good fit for one of these positions, please share this post with them ➡️

Dear Students,

As the year begins, it's natural to set ambitious goals (and we genuinely hope you achieve them all!)

💪 However, remember that consistency beats perfection. Taking regular, small steps is better than not moving at all. Even learning just 5 new English words a week can make a big difference in the long run.

💛 Here's to staying consistent on your English learning journey throughout 2025!

Dear students,

☃️ Even with all the challenges, we hope you create some merry moments for yourself this holiday season.

Our team will be on break from December 24th to January 1st, but we’ll be back soon to continue supporting you on your journey!

Wishing you a merry and bright Christmas! See you in 2025 ✨

As promised, we’re sharing the Words of the Year chosen by various dictionaries and media:

▫️ Merriam-Webster Dictionary: Polarization — the act of separating or making people separate into two groups with completely opposite opinions

▫️ Cambridge Dictionary: Manifest — to use methods such as visualization and affirmation to help you imagine achieving something you want

▫️ Collins Dictionary: Brat — characterized by a confident, independent, and hedonistic attitude.

▫️ Dictionary.com: Demure — characterized by shyness and modesty; reserved.

▫️ The Economist: Kakistocracy — rule by the worst (inspired by its opposite, “aristocracy” — rule by the best)

If you were to choose the Word of the Year, what would it be? Share your word in the comments!

The word of the week and a dose of encouragement are here!

Despite the many difficulties we face, let’s hold on to the belief that with perseverance, everything will come up roses 🇺🇦

Дорогі студенти та прихильники ENGin,

Це рідкісне повідомлення українською на цьому каналі:)

Якщо ви раптом пропустили цю важливу новину, то ділимося:

▫️ З 24 грудня ENGin змінює політику одноразового благодійного внеску. Для дорослих та дітей він буде 1200 грн. Військові та ветерани будуть мати безкоштовний доступ до програми, як і раніше.

▫️ Водночас ми також запускаємо стипендіальну програму для учасників будь-якого віку, що не матимуть фінансової змоги зробити внесок.

Такі зміни необхідні для покриття витрат програми. Зараз наша команда складається з понад 30 людей і ми doing our best, щоб надавати якнайкращий досвід студентам та волонтерам. Нещодавно їхня загальна кількість перевищила 50 тисяч!
