I think defamatory is fine for everyday use if you're addressing defamation and not just someone who's being an arse. Arduous is a great word for comedic effect, like using it to describe simple tasks like washing the dishes or taking the trash out. I think preposterous is also a fine substitute for absurd, at least in a work environment, rather than school. All depends on the environment and people you talk with, I think these are fine for common usage.

English is my second language. For a romance-derived language speaker, e.g., Spanish, these words are rather easy because they come from Latin, and already exist and are used in Spanish, Portuguese, etc. For example, meticulous is meticuloso, arduous is arduo, pensive comes from pensante or pensador, austere is austero, capricious is caprichoso, defamatory is defamador, nascent comes from nacer (to be born), etc. The challenge however, is to pronounce them correctly in English, especially for a foreigner,

You are the epitome of the interactive English teaching. As some quid pro quo to your conscientious teaching I'd like to write a plain comment on each of your lessons using some of the words in that lesson.

Great video! I'm an English teacher preparing students to take Cambridge Exams. One of the key challenges of the C1 Advanced exam is the time pressure you may feel during the different sections of the exam. To overcome this challenge, it's important to practice time management skills during your exam preparation. One way to do this is to simulate exam conditions as closely as possible during your practice sessions. Set yourself a time limit for each task and try to stick to it strictly. This will help you get used to working under pressure and make it easier for you to manage your time during the actual exam.

Truculent is an interesting one. The word "truculent" in French (written the same, pronounced differently obviously) means quite the opposite. It means funny, joyful, colorful! After reading about it, it does come from the latin "truculentus" meaning "seemingly violent", and it could have that meaning in French too (although it's not the main one)! Very interesting

I have a 99 percentile vocabulary, but I find this very helpful as a reminder of words I seldom use due to my need to communicate effectively, rather than to sound 'smart'.

[@InteractiveEng]

Glad you enjoyed the lesson & found it useful. 😊

[@robertovazquez8512]

English has words with similar meaning from two main sources. From Germanic sources via the Anglo-Saxon and from Latin via Norman French. I had a professor that when teaching English vocabulary to Spanish speaking students found that they had difficulty learning the short “easy” English words but were able to almost immediately learn the long more complex words . After some time she found out that these long complex words came from Latin and they were cognates to Spanish words since Spanish came from Latin as French did.

[@AJforkids]

what gets lumped into being called "english" is from like six different languages. latin is only 10℅ of it. geology? greek. cot? arabic.

I’ve absolutely enjoyed your list of vocabulary words. Most of them I knew, but a few of them I needed to be refreshed with. Here’s a word that I see in the novels I read, acquiescence. When I first read it, I had to look it up, and i’ve used it often since then.

Thanks a lot, you are an excellent teacher . Thanks

[@vasiliscaravitis5537]

Very useful lessons and thank you for these. As quite a large part of the words that you used in your video have foreign origins (Latin, Greek, French, etc.) it may be a good idea that you mention the origin of each word. This will enlighten listeners who take interest in linguistics and possibly broaden the scope of the sessions.

[@InteractiveEng]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the lesson. 👍

[@just-a-fella3212]

@@InteractiveEng Yes, I second Vasilis's suggestion, and would like to add further to it as follows. You are teaching the meanings of words as a thesaurus would, simply likening the word to others as if they have the same meaning. This teaching the use of a thesaurus in place of a dictionary is common in recent years by school teachers, and contributes to fuzzy thinking and imprecise and extreme speech of our young. Synonyms seldom have the same meaning, but are a cluster of words of similar meanings, in grades of severity, viewing the subject from different angles, emphasising either more emotional or mental perspectives, or applying to different situations, and so on. And the Latin, Greek, French, Anglo, Germanic,... origins provide us with the more precise meaning and distinction between synonyms. It is the distinction between synonyms that provides for accuracy and precision in speech. To teach words in clusters of synonyms _without_ distinctions in their meanings makes for fuzzy thinking and vague communication, and to use the most unusual or "educated" sounding of a cluster of synonyms without distinction is just pretentious and vague. The word intelligence comes from the Latin inter, meaning between; and legere, meaning to choose; therefore: the ability to choose between. Intelligence is the fineness to which one can perceive distinctions within any medium. In other words, intelligence is the fineness of one's mental discriminatory unit, and verbal intelligence is one's ability to select words to represent and communicate the fineness of the distinctions or discriminatory units that one can perceive. We want people to be able to think and communicate in fine and precise terms, not in chunky thoughts and vague and extreme words as so many young people are doing nowadays. So lets teach the distinctions between synonyms, and the words origin makes doing that easier to teach and easier to learn and remember.

Everything wrong like lying, (have you ever lied before), stealing, blaspheming God name (aka OMG, saying It without regard of God's Holiness. Have you ever cheated on something before? Hatred, Malice, Envy. Have you ever hated someone before? Have you ever mailice someone before? Have you ever envied someone before? Sin is death, and its wages are the same (the wages of sin is death, but the Gift of God through Jesus Christ is eternal life) Going before the throne of a Holy God on Judgement Day ay the end of our lives, we will be judged for all the sin we have commited. If there is any sin the person wil be sent to HELL. now this is The Good News: Jesus Christ died in your place, in the place of sinners. Now if you will believe on Him, and turn from your sin, you will be saved. Repent quickly. Do not decieve yourself that He is not coming back. Hiiii! Jesus loves you!

As you may know, lots of English words come from French (my mother tongue) but their meaning has changed in English. "Truculent", for instance, means "colourful", "earthy" etc.

[@OLDCHEMIST1]

As a native English speaker, I am told my vocabulary is very good and in sampling this, I did not find any word unknown to me. Excellent presentation by the teacher, but a word of caution to the learners: do not expect all native speakers to understand you; some will be relatively uneducated and so not know such high-level words. I find I frequently have to paraphrase because I use a fair amount of advanced vocabulary in my everyday speech. So, in a nutshell, pick appropriate words!

[@twanvanderdonk2504]

Have you heard of the word "arrogant" before?

[@EssentialEnglishIdioms]

It would actually be unusual to encourage English learners to learn 'high level words' in an effort to sound smarter than the average native speaker. In fact, most of these words are almost never used in daily conversation by any native speaker and I take the whole 'sounding smarter' thing as a way to get clicks. The goal is to sound fluent, not smart. In fact, attempting to use a five-dollar word when a one-dollar word will suffice does not make you sound smarter, only pompous and arrogant, if not also a bit stuffy.

[@OLDCHEMIST1]

@@twanvanderdonk2504 Yes, I have. A good example would be someone who misreads a comment and assumes they can judge the character of a person from one comment. You might know something about that, perhaps?

[@OLDCHEMIST1]

@@EssentialEnglishIdioms Yes, of course, my point was that the vocabulary of some native speakers is poor. A foreign speaker with a high level of English would have to put some things in simpler terms to be understood. I like acquiring high level words and do use some, but I also explain what I mean if I appear not to have been understood.

[@Sara3346]
