Expand your vocabulary with EasyWords
July 28, 2010
There are many ways to increase a person’s vocabulary, from the classic pick-a-word from the dictionary each day (my father’s preferred method), to the little desk calendar with a daily vocabulary word on each page. But in this day and age people aren’t always working from the same desk each every day, and lugging around an unabridged Oxford English dictionary isn’t practical.
Enter EasyWords, a free downloadable application that helps you memorize and learn new words right from your computer. EasyWords runs in the background and, at an interval that you set, presents you with a vocab question. Once you select the correct answer, it goes away again. It’s pretty unobtrusive — you can just click close if you don’t want to be bothered right then.
The words can be everything from very basic to GMAT stumpers. You get to pick how hard you want to push yourself. There are also word sets for testing your German and Turkish, with more languages planned for down the road.
If you always wanted to expand your vocabulary but think you never have the time, give this nifty little program a try and see if it works for you.
