The Top 10 Words of the Decade
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.

I agree with you.
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!
excellent tutorial & quiz. I got 8 out of 8.
Thanks
I’m sorry and must truly speak I’m impressive about your dress special belt of dress that is very nice, it made me distraction sometime of period first videoclip, anyway i’m still have 10/10 thanks your explaination is very clearly and easily to understand, thank Emma so much
Thanks for this class. In my opinion you should include “protocol”. In Brazil this word is used a lot in this year.
Thank u so much. In 2020 the world that I see a lot was to STAY HOME.

Hi…I’d like to brush my speaking up. Is there anyone else who is interested in speaking to me on a regular basis?
My whatsapp number is +8801812788727.
Thank you.
Rasho.
You can try Speak Peak. There’re a lot of people there with the same goal, and it’s free.
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 ;)
Agree with you
Emma, thank you very much for this video! Your lessons have helped me to improve my English. I’ve watched all of them twice and I’m looking forward for a new one! You are an amazing and encouraging teacher! And your lessons are always entertaining and actual! Thanks for your work!!!
Is there any Saudi Arabian?
I’ve seen a lot of toxic people around the Internet. They could be really mean sometimes. :(
I get emotional when they speak harmful words to me.
That’s very sad :(. Try ignoring what they say and think positive!
Thank you for the wonderful advice. You are a pretty nice person.
