Site to learn useful words!!

 

Why Vocabulary.com?

Learn useful words.

From a huge corpus, (books, periodicals, and other material that cumulatively contain over 1.6 billion words) the most essential English vocabulary words are taken; the words that you need to succeed in an academic or businessenvironment. This list serves as the basis for this learning platform.

Learn only the words that you have trouble with.

Vocabulary.com uses a technology called Adaptive Vocabulary Instruction or AVI. Unlike traditional learning systems, it doesn’t rely on a series of time-consuming and boring assessments. Instead, everything you do on the site adds to the AVI model. It’s as if you have a personal trainer in the room, monitoring your work and suggesting new words and exercises to challenge you on your level. Because of this, you don’t waste your time learning words that are too easy or too hard.

You won’t forget.

Finally, your achievements are analyzed, and your skills are reinforced by reintroducing words at various times to make sure that you are retaining the words you originally learned.
