I am getting 18/30. Hopefully, will perform better in the next ones. Thanks, Greg Mat.

[@AbiolaAdeleke-d5k]

First attempt(29/10/2024) - 24/30 Words I am learning Enigmatic - confounding and mysterious. Fanciful - unrealistic and far fetched. Restive - Restless, unruly and unable to remain still. Sporadic - Patchy Aloof - Distant and stand-offish invasive - tending to spread very quickly and harmfully.

[@leahstephens3673]

Hello! Not sure if you check comments on such old videos but I just wanted to note that for #13 you used "homo sapiens" as a mnemonic device for "heterogeneous/homogeneous" but these are actually false friends. The prefix "homo-" comes from the Ancient Greek "ὁμός" (homos), meaning "same" or "in common" whereas "homo" from "homo sapiens" is Latin for "man." This is probably not interesting to anyone but classical philologists but I thought it might be worth sharing. Thank you for all your helpful videos!

[@vib2810]

29/30. Got lax wrong (fell for the cool trap) (should be lenient). I have now memorized the same as re(lax)ed -> not strict and lenient

[@uyenst]

27/30 woohoo. I only got 22 on test four. Meeting these words again and again in your test has evidently been what it takes for me to finally remember words like garrulous. I used flashcards, even mnemonic ones, but after a while they kind of just blur into one another.

[@saipranavg]

where can we find flashcards for this?

[@amrita.bakshi]

Hi, Thanks for the video. However, I feel, no. 4 has a problem... There are two equally suitable options : both 'censure' and 'denounce' can denote 'stigma'. In that case, why are we choosing 'denounce' specifically?

[@gregmat8036]

Good call. I just looled it up on Google and ‘denounce’ is the only one listed for ‘stigmatized,’ but ‘censure’ IS listed for ‘denounce.’ Pretty ambiguous. Could have been clearer. Good find Amrita!

[@amrita.bakshi]

@@gregmat8036 thanks! I suppose, both can be considered correct here... Ain't it?

[@gregmat8036]

Yeah, I think so. Not a great question.

[@nazaninvafaee3570]

@@gregmat8036 it is actually, we learned this from it :) I had 'censure' too so high five Amrita :P

[@BalakrishnanRishiSuresh]

First one in the series where I got a 30. Finding it immensely helpful! Cheers Greg :)

[@MohammedMohammed-f4s]

26/30 my best yet. So many more words to learn, I'm getting overwhelmed

[@YoungIvy]

I would recommend taking the first one, every word you miss, write down with its definition 1-3 times. Wait a few hours to a day and take it again. Don't use any definitions when you retest. Repeat this process until you get 30/30. Repeat this process and apply it to each video in the series. Good Luck

[@richenjoshi7054]

26/30 at first attempt. 30/30 at second attempt after two days

[@agri-corner5298]

I think stigmatize goes with denounce as well as censure. #4

[@linkmaster959]

Damn Ive been getting 18/30 correct like every video so far

a bit more difficult than previous ones! like restive was trickiest here :)

[@ankurbanerji6605]

22/30 and I did this after memorizing 1200 words. But little did I realize that I forgot a lot of them LOL.

[@isratfatema]

Conventional means ordinary or normal. Then why 19's answer is unoriginal?

[@alwaystoyou123]

Thanks a lot. 23 correct

wouldn't censure also mean the same as stigmatize / denounce?

[@ujjwaldadhich7433]

Tough but good set of words to learn. Got only 19/30 this time

Sporadic can be spontaneous

Does "invasive" really mean to cause harm? or does the action of spreading cause harm?

Thanks a lot sir. Are you sure about the 29th?

[@vaibhavsetia3919]

Frivolous was a surprise. I thought it the meaning was ridiculuou

[@aceallen2505]

27/30 acquiesced!

[@rajatrautan5005]

Thanks for the cool word dude.

[@taranoish4309]

Yea I like the music!

[@docakes1126]

Frivolous is strange. Meaning of the word is like, "not having any serious purpose or value.", "(of a person) carefree and superficial.". None of the dictionaries mention "trivial" as a synonym. Could you please explain? Thank you for these amazing videos, there are truly helpful.

[@vivek.487]

google it trivial is also one among the many meanings of it. Btw I thought the same answer anyway that is also correct

[@gokulpkumar2060]

Nice music!

[@devalpatel8816]

Why did we choose unruly for restive and not exhausted?

[@gregmat8036]

Because restive is not related to sleepiness or tiredness. That is why Gre loves this word. It is a tricky one. It actually means that someone is difficult to control.

[@devalpatel8816]
