Word of the Day is a fun idea I came up with to help my friends advance their English proficiency. It’s perfect for students of English as a foreign language and native English speakers who want to sharpen up their vocabulary. All words and sample sentences are my own. The phonetic pronunciation can be found after the word in parenthesis with the bold-face indicating which syllable to stress. If you are looking for the audio pronunciation, visit www.dictionary.com and click on the speaker icon next to the word.
