What are the top words of the decade? I will give you one word for each year from 2010 to 2020. Some of these words were completely new, but many of them existed already and became used a lot more often in that year. Each of these words has continued to be used since the year it became popular! They are so common now that you might be surprised to realize that they are not even very old. Language is growing and adapting all the time.
Test your understanding of the English lesson by answering these questions. You will get the answers and your score at the end of the quiz.

Thank you. As always, interesting and helpful. I’ve been binge-watching White Collar for the last three days. And my neighbor is a toxic person. She is quite a Karen. Now I know the right words for her!

Thanks for this class. In my opinion you should include “protocol”. In Brazil this word is used a lot in this year.

I wouldn´t have chosen a better word for 2020, although I can´t agree on the term itself. We can talk about physical distance, which is not the same as social distance. I´m wondering who´s spread all these words all over the world….
Thanks a lot for your lesson Emma ;)
