Here are the today’s words for vocabulary learners everywhere. Sorry if these posts are not that frequent at the moment, I haven’t been too well lately. However, I have found a new internet tool that will really help you to enjoy learning words and investigating their meaning. It is called Visuwords and is a perfect way to work with your word lists (and to increase your score in the Derivatives task CPE people!) . Do try it out with today’s list, I think you will really enjoy it.
