Most of you probably know this week's word!

The USA will celebrate Thanksgiving Day on Thursday. This serves as a beautiful reminder that even though times are tough, there are still so many things to be grateful for.

So, we encourage you to express your gratitude to the people around you today.

We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to you for being a part of the ENGin community 🤍

Today, we're sharing Oxford's Word of the Year! This term captures the feeling of mental exhaustion from excessive screen time and mindless content consumption 🫠

Other dictionaries have also announced their Words of the Year. Give this post a reaction if you'd like us to compile a list of all of them for you 😊

Today we are exploring the term "enshittification" as a follow-up to last week's discussion on social media in our lives. This term describes how social media platforms can worsen as they focus on making more money 🫤

Curious to learn more? Check out the article in the Guardian.

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!

📢 Якщо ви знаєте когось, хто хотів би долучитися до програми, то просимо поділитися інформацією про нас. Всі, хто пройдуть реєстраційний процес до 24 грудня, будуть брати участь за старими правилами (безкоштовна участь для дітей, 750 грн внеску для учасників 18+)

Дякуємо!

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 🇺🇦

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

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