:c This week is ponderous
Someone please rescue me from Vocabulary Word Hell!!! D : Ok its not really THAT bad ... but :c there are 400 words in total and I only just and just have 50 down D : Here is a little sampling of the words : D
- monotony - a dull sameness
- ponderous - very dull, boring
- reticent - quiet, untalkative
- voluble - talkative
- succinct - brief
So far the very best part of my SAT prep has been that my teacher person said "People who've taken Latin have an advantage when it comes to learning words" HOHOHOHO! So much for it being a useless language!! <-- Thats for all the people who laughed at me for picking it : D AND just to demonstrate how handy Latin can be lets concentrate on the word ... amicable
- amicable - characterized by friendly goodwill
Now whats the Latin word for friend?? Amicus (male) and Amica (female) AHA! thats right theres also "amica" in AMICAble Score for the Latin learners! o__o Latin is also present in Spanish hence the Spanish words for friend are Amigo (male) and Amiga ( female) : D Everyone go learn Latin!
