The 4000 English Words Essential for an Educated Vocabulary
English offers perhaps the richest vocabulary of all languages, in
part because its words are culled from so many languages. It is a
shame that we do not tap this rich source more often in our daily
conversation to express ourselves more clearly and precisely.
There are of course thesauruses but they mainly list common
words. Other vocabulary books list difficult, esoteric words that we
quickly forget or feel self-conscious using. However, there is a
bounty of choice words between the common and the esoteric that
often seem be just on the tip of our tongue. Vocabulary 4000 brings
these words to the fore.
Whenever possible, one-word definitions are used. Although
this makes a definition less precise, it also makes it easier to
remember. Many common words appear in the list of words, but
with their less common meanings. For example, the common
meaning of champion is “winner.” A less common meaning for
champion is to support or fight for someone else. (Think of the
phrase “to champion a cause.”) This is the meaning that would be
used in the list.
As you read through the list of words, mark any that you do not
know with a check mark. Then when you read through the list again,
mark any that you do not remember with two checks. Continue in
this manner until you have learned the words.
There are four types of quizzes interspersed in the word list:
Matching, Antonyms, Analogies, and Sentence Completions. The
Matching quizzes, review words that were just introduced. All the
other quizzes contain words from any part of the list.
