Updated Words has launched another interesting Glossary. It is our Anatomy Glossary.

The Glossary is still incomplete, but we decided to publish so it can be useful to the general public. We want our glossaries to be a useful tool both for colleagues and the general public.

This Glossary will be updated regularly once more terms become available. Feel free to consult it on Anatomy Glossary .

New Financial Year brings a few changes to Updated Words

The new Financial Year has just started bringing a few exciting changes to Updated Words. We did a small restructure and decided to do a few changes in our activities online and release 2 brand new Glossaries.

Over the years we've been promoting activities in our Facebook and Forum pages, bringing terms and asking readers to find their translation. We won't be changing that model but we will be doing it in a slightly different way. From this week we will start introducing the word on Tuesdays as usual, but we will start doing it in a multiple-choice exercise, where you will have to choose from 3 possible options.

We will also be introducing the Grammar Months. From now on, we will have 4 months in a year dedicated to Grammar issues both in English and Portuguese. These months will be spread out through the year and each one of them will have 2 weeks dedicated to English Grammar and the other 2 dedicated to Portuguese Grammar. The activities will be similar to the other activities. A multiple-choice exercise will be released on Tuesdays to be completed with the correct answers on Thursdays.

We have also updated our existing Glossaries and released 2 brand new Glossaries. These Glossaries are not complete, but they are meant to be updated  as more terms become available. Every weekly term released in our online activities will be released in a Glossary and published in our website once it reaches more than 20 terms. Our new glossaries are the Aviation and Tourism Glossary  and the Legal Vocabulary Glossary. More glossaries will be released throughout the year and the existing ones will be updated every three months.

After one year of cooperation, we are very sad to announce our colleague Margarida Sousa's departure from the Updated Words Team.

A long time friend, Margarida became a member in 2016 and has been working with us, helping develop the Team's projects. However, due to personal reason our dear friend Margarida had to resign from the Team. She also sad to leave but she couldn't reconcile the work in the Team with other personal activities she's involved with.

Welcome to 2017

Welcome to 2017. After a small break our team is ready to start the new year. We wish 2017 is a very positive and successful year not only for ourselves but to all our clients.

Our regular activities online will continue in 2017 and we have a few more interesting things planned as well. You can find out about all our initiatives in our Official Forum and Facebook page. Some of our members also have personal blogs. There you can find a bit more about that particular member and the work they do ...

We have been promising the release of a new Glossary for quite some time. This Glossary was supposed to be released in 2016, but once again that wasn't possible. Our team is still working on this very important tool as we want it to be a comprehensive tool in the field that could be a reference for other colleagues and to the public in general. Our plan is to release this glossary in 2017.

We are ready to start the year and we count on your participation. If you have any questions you would like to ask, please fell free to post them on our social media pages or send us a private email.

Happy New Year.
