Hey everyone, my name is @SumatraNate. In this guest post, I will be sharing four new Words of the Week!
Let’s LEAP right in – Learn, Encourage, Acknowledge, and Practice.
LEARN
We had a great group of words this week. If you have not had a chance to review our most recent words, I am sharing their meanings below:
- Abrogate (verb) - to deny or cancel
- Blasphemy (noun) - speech that offends religious sentiments
- Plaintiff (noun) – petitioner (in court of law)
- Enigma (noun) – a puzzle or mystery
To read example sentences, be sure to check out @Definitions on D.Buzz, where I share new a word four days a week – Monday through Thursday.

ENCOURAGE
My encouragement for the week is:
Set SMART goals!
We have all survived the first week of 2021. For many people, the New Year is a time to set new goals. I want to take things a step further.
Set SMART English goals!
- S - Specific - “I will learn new words, so I can improve my speaking and understanding skills.”
- M - Measure - “I will learn four new words each week.”
- A - Achievable - This is a realistic goal because I will be providing you with the resources.
- R - Relevant - Learning new words helps you become a better communicator - to understand and be understood.
- T - Time-Bound - "I will learn four new words each week for the rest of 2021."
ACKNOWLEDGE
I want to acknowledge @mmmmkkkk311 for his continued support of @Definitions on D.Buzz. Thank you for believing in me and the work I am doing to share new words.
I believe it is important to acknowledge people's efforts and improvement. How do I plan to do that?
- I want to showcase English learners who are practicing, improving, and becoming better communicators. I hope that I will be able to add your name here soon.
- I will be rewarding quality, authentic engagement with ENGAGE tokens.
PRACTICE
It is time to practice.
In the comment’s section, write down a synonym for our words of the week. If you want to know what a synonym is, watch this video!
Thanks for stopping by and letting me be apart of your English journey!
Have a blessed day, and keep practicing English! I look forward to the next time we can meet again!
Signing off!

More About SumatraNate:
I am a native English speaker from the United States who has a passion for helping people become good communicators. While living in Indonesia, I taught conversational English.
Trust me! I understand how hard it is to learn a new language. I have experience learning a new language and interacting with people who are learning a new language.
Communication is an important part of being human. Since it impacts our everyday lives, we need to understand the goal of communication. I believe that the goal of communication is to “hear and be heard.”
- “hear” = carefully listening to what other people say
- ”be heard” = speaking in such a way that people understand our message
The ultimate goal is to understand one another.
Over and out.
