Synonym Antonyms

Learning synonym antonyms should be a part of all vocabulary building processes.

Why?

Well, there are a number of reasons.

First, it increases the number of words we retain in our vocabulary.

Second, synonyms and antonyms are items often tested on English language exams like the Michigan Proficiency.

Third, they are (generally) easier to learn and remember than other non-related words due to the relationship they have with each other. Studies (and practice) show that learning words in combination or relation to other words improves ones retention.

The words synonym and antonym derive from the Greek language and literally mean "same name, or meaning" and "opposite name, or meaning."

What I'm preparing to make available from this site is going to revolutionize the way students prepare for the Michigan Proficiency exams.

Soon, an automated e-course called Advanced Vocabulary Builder will be available to you. Proficient-level words and exercises will be sent directly to your e-mail inbox.

Did you know that the University of Michigan tends to "recycle" words in their English Language exams?

Just imagine!

Thanks to my research, you will finally be studying words that have a very good chance of being tested. That means no more endless word lists that you may (or may not) see again.

The time you'll save from this one e-course alone will be significant. No more looking up definitions of words because the words, definitions, exercises and quizes will be delivered to you.

Automatically!... all you'll have to do is "click."

Sound interesting? Want to give it a try?

If yes, fill in the form below and I will notify you when the course is ready. Be advised that your name and e-mail will be used for this purpose only! No third party will ever receive your e-mail from me. I promise.
