Words

Many books have words that you might not know. And many, you might need to look up. I've found that if you come across a word that you don't know, then if you look it up, the book is a lot easier to understand.
I've been keeping track of words that I come across that I don't know. How am I doing that? Well, once I find a word that I don't know, I look it up, and then I write the word, pronunciation, and the definition down on a pad of paper. Then later on, I can look back at the words that I've written down, and I gain a bigger vocabulary. I learn words like; impending, candidly, condone, illustrious, chagrin, balked, nattily, languidly, and dudgeon, along with their pronunciation. It also makes it easier to explain things, because I know more words, all of which mean different things.
 I challenge you to find at least one word to look up each day, and write the pronunciation and the definition down along with it, on a piece of paper, or a notepad. And when you do, I promise that it will be at least a little bit easier to explain things. Have fun!




P.S. Thanks for suggesting the Rithmatist! I'll have to try it!
