Last month we started with the category: “Did you know?” where each day we post a few interesting facts of one country. Our house has many nationalities and we thought it was a great thing to share with the community.
This month, we are feeling proactive, so we start with the category of “Word of the Day” where each day we will learn a new word in English so we can improve our vocabulary. 🙂
Hope you all like it!
