Flash Vocabulary #7: 101 JQXZ Words (Flash Vocabulary Builders)

Quite possibly the fastest and most enjoyable way to boost your vocabulary!

Flash Vocabulary is a whole swag of resources designed by WordBuff.com to help you boost your vocabulary quickly through the extensive use of well-crafted pictures.

Flash Vocabulary for Kindle is a series of vocabulary-building eBooks with each volume being dedicated to a particular theme. The title you are browsing right now, 101 JQXZ Words, is the seventh in a long lineup of projected titles, covering everything from Birds, Insects, and Plants, through to Boats, Religion, and Food!

The layout of the book is optimized for rapid learning. Each page displays the word being learned in a big clear font, followed by a carefully-selected highly-memorable image to help you visualize the title word. Below each image is an easy-to-use pronunciation guide and a concise easy-to-remember definition of the word.

Oh, before you go any further I should warn you about something: this series is not about baby words!

As you'll soon see inside, these books are designed to really extend you by assailing you with words like CLOQUE, IXODID, and KOPJE, that you are not likely to already know.

Although I hope you will find quickly flicking through this book to be both effective and visually pleasing, you will probably need to go through it more than once to really master all the little gems inside. I recommend frequently testing yourself by eyeballing the full list of vocabulary words in the next section and clicking through on any words you have doubts about. Before you know it, you'll be familiar with most, if not all, of them.

Of course, how you use these words is completely up to you. While some readers simply love to indulge in new and wonderful words, and perhaps occasionally impress their dinner guests, others treat them as ammunition to crush their opponents at Scrabble or Words With Friends.

(BTW, for the latter group, ALL of the words you'll find in here are in the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, which means your opponents can't challenge them off the board!)

It's courses for horses I say ;-)
