Where Do You Learn New Words?

Where Do You Learn New Words?

Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka has appointed three social media influencers to be 'language icons' to help promote the use of proper language among the public which got us thinking about the ways people expand their language and learn new words. So we ask our listeners: where do you learn new words? And what is a word you've learned recently that you've started using in your daily life?
