About this listen
Vocabulary for College and Beyond is designed to help you quickly acquire and easily remember thousands of advanced words, the knowledge of which is expected of a college-level educated person.
Naturally, this audiobook is an indispensable tool for those who want to expand their vocabulary horizon or prepare for a college-level English language exam like the SAT, TOEFL, or GRE.
These are salient features of the audiobook:
- Complete list of test-worthy words and their definitions: Exams that test college-level English language skills focus on high-level words that are used across fields of study and common words that have secondary meanings.
- This audiobook contains both high-level words and multiple meanings of common words.
- Lists of roots, prefixes, and suffixes and their examples: Many English words are made of word parts called roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The knowledge of word parts is useful to retain the meanings of unfamiliar words, since their meanings can be obtained by analyzing their component word parts. In addition, this knowledge is useful to decode academic, field-specific words, as these words are normally made from known word parts. Since many English words share the same roots and particles, it is useful to study them based on their roots and particles. So this audiobook contains lists of roots, prefixes and suffixes, and examples of words that use them.
- List of synonyms and antonyms: Many English words have similar meanings, many of which come from different sources, e.g., Latin-French, Greek, and Old German. So it is efficient to memorize words based on their similarity in meaning. This method is especially useful since many exam questions ask for synonyms or antonyms of given words. So this audiobook contains a list of synonyms and antonyms of common words.
