A Newcomer to the Big City!
written by: Erin
Hello Heart to Heart Readers!
Summer’s almost ending but I’m still having fun with fireworks!! Hi, my name’s Erin and I’ve just joined the Heart to Heart teaching team.
I’m very excited about being a part of this AMAZING English Club and can’t wait to meet you in person.
Now, for a quick quiz!
What do you call a person (like myself) who has recently become involved in an activity?
hint #1: the word starts with “N”
hint #2: you can either find the word by searching through the dictionary or by simply looking at the title of this blog!
Yes! It’s the word “newcomer“!! There are many other words with similar nuances like: novice, newbie, and new kid on the block.
In Japan, people seem to be familiar with the word ニューフェイス(new face), instead of ニューカマー (newcomer)…
Is “new face” an english word or 和製英語(waseieigo/japanese english)?
What do you think???
We’re looking forward to hearing your opinions. See you soon!
