Thank you very much! Your videos have been reaaaally helpful for my GRE prep :)
Thank you Phillip you are just the best!! ❤️
Finally finished this video! What would be great is to have a list of frequent prefixes or suffixes, e.g. mono-, dis-, etc. with their signification. These help so much and give indication as to the meaning of a word one might not know. Anyone knows of such a useful sheet?
This game goes on forever. Best is to not look at the top definition and try to guess for all five options and then match with the top. That way you are always refreshing your memory.
Good idea. And you can learn more words too!
Seen your previous videos with vocab lists, accurately wrote all the new words. Now I am not so benighted! Thanks from Russia 🇷🇺
A great way to remember the word caprice is to familiarise oneself with the work of the Checz artist Marketa "Little Caprice" Stoblova.
Great, thank you
I know the word "gamete" which is a haploid cell ready to combine with another to become a zygote. To me, gamete is something very young, which relates to the phrase 'gamin' in that it is a kid on the streets.
That Breaking Bad reference was how I was thinking about it until you mentioned it :D
Awesome!
Level 2: 10:02
Level 3: 18:33
Level 4: 26:48
Level 5: 34:59
I truly enjoyed it
Hi, can you make a video on how to effectively maintain an error log for verbal questions. Especially the RC questions. Moreover is it better to maintain it in word document or a journal? And how often to review the mistakes?
Great idea Tooba. I need to keep a log of all the ideas people suggest! I think either a journal or doc is fine, just the act of writing it down helps the brain solidify the memory. If it's a journal try to keep it neat otherwise it becomes unreadable.
thanks! this set of words is hard
I like your instruction. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Thank you
Learnt quite a plethora of new words here. Could you please share the link to the website so we could try it out as well? Thanks.
I know you like etymology. Sycophant comes from the ancient Greek for “showing the fig” like the English: “flipping the bird”. The ancient Greeks, however, did not show the middle finger, but rather would squeeze their thumb between the index and middle fingers, making a shape resembling…well, the vulva.
The most widely accepted explanation is that politicians would themselves refrain from using this gesture against their opponents, so as not to be seen stooping. Instead, they would instruct their toadies/henchmen (or sycophants, if you will) to go out and make this slanderous gesture against political enemies!
That's epic. Thank you 'bingusbingus '
Heya, your videos are just awesome,you have helped me a lot and I am really thankful to you, I am giving my gre agin in the next 20 days, is there anyway I could reach out to you in person so that you could advice me more and it would really help me to get a good score this time atleast 😭
Thanks so much Aarsh. For all business contacts please do go through gretutorlondon.com.
Maybe you have heard the word "onery" pronounced in many different ways 'onry', 'ornry' 'awnry'. This is when a person (usually a child) is being stubborn and just doing what they want. I believe this has some relation to the word onerous.
Love your brook tip lol

Here's a way to remember the word peripatetic; Peri basically sounds like the name Perry, Perry the platypus. Perry the platypus is an agent, and he goes on missions, he is a worker, who travels around.

I don't know why English language needs to have so many difficult words which after learning, may not use it as the bulk of the people you interact with also do not know the words.
You can express yourself more and more clearly. Think of the difference between knowing just the word 'bad' versus knowing 'noxious, pugnacious, lackadaisical, morose' etc.
@@TheTestedTutor When I used adv vocab with friends, they told me to use simpler English 😁
actually, there are 256 words!
This vid is lit 😍
Thanks Vartika!

Raillery friendly teasing
Abeyance suspension of activity

Peripatetic just like Peri the platypus 😅
My rudimentary Latin expedites me to memorize easily.
