Vocabulary and Spelling Course 1

-Interest level: I found it very interesting. I had a lot of fun doing this course. Even though it's long, I didn't see the time pass by and I really enjoyed it. I found it interesting to try to give the definition of words I already knew. I realized it was hard to explain a word even though I'm able to use it in a sentence.


-Difficulty level: It was the perfect difficulty level to start off. I knew most of the words in the course, but I still learned new ones and tricks to learn their meaning.


-What you learned: I learned how to separate a word into syllables. I learned the meaning of a great number of words like probate, bemoan, compulsory, psyche, slough and epitome.


-Score: There is no score at the end of this course

RATING: 9/10









Synonym & Antonym Practice Exercise 1


-Interest level: It was very interesting to find out for how many words I knew synonyms and antonyms. I realised it's harder to find the opposite of the meaning of the word than a replacement for it.


-Difficulty level: It was a little difficult. It made me look up definitions in the dictionary and take the time to see what I didn't know. I think the exercise is more worth doing if you check out your mistakes afterwards and look in the dictionary for what you didn't understand.


-What you learned (examples): I learned there are a lot of words I though I knew the meaning, but I only vaguely understood what they ment. I learned that placid means serene and calm, irascible means easily angered, impartial is to be without prejudice or bias, abate is to reduce in degree or intensity.
