The time i created this blog and decided that i would start writing again. Interestingly, it's a palindrome number. A word i learned in 4th grade in Mr. Yager's class, and somehow it's been imprinted in my mind ever since. I'm not sure whether that's because i have a love for math or because i'm a logophile. I still remember when i just came to the U.S. and my vocabulary consisted of a limited amount of words which could be counted on the tips of my fingers. It's been a long road since then. I can hardly say that i'm good at English now, but going from learning ESL and getting my best friend to translate everything for me to tutoring SAT sessions is quite a metamorphosis. For anyone wanting to improve their vocabulary, whether it be for trying to improve your verbal scores on standardized tests like SAT, PCAT, MCAT, GRE, or any of those sorts, or just for fun and kicks, I highly recommend "Not Too Scary Vocabulary." Although it might look a bit corny and somewhat children-like, the content and substance it carries is remarkable. Being a bad Asian, I rarely ever buy anything legit, but i have to say that spending money on those CDs were money well spent. It will really make a difference and you will actually enjoy learning regardless of the age you're at.
