This is the Korean translation of the sixth edition. The old version was a large book, and it was inconvenient because the binding would bend. The new edition is also available split into separate volumes, which makes it easier to use. The print is smaller, though, so I find myself reaching for a magnifying glass.

Everything you need is in one book! It has definitions and pronunciations like a dictionary, as well as English definitions like an English-English dictionary, so your synonyms naturally expand. It also helpfully lists additional synonyms and gives word origins that make the meanings easier to understand. The book suggests several study methods. When I tried them, I could see how studying one word expanded into related synonyms, which boosted my study skills and helped the words stick in my

Anyone who has studied English has probably heard of Word Smart at least once. Just as it is called the world's best-selling vocabulary book, people around me and I used to carry it around and study it like a bible when preparing for English-language tests such as the SAT and TOEFL. It has been quite a while since I stopped studying English, and now that I am starting again, vocabulary is the first obstacle I feel.

Created by the Princeton Review team and studied by students across America—the bible of vocabulary learning! 🩶👍 It is said to be a long-running bestseller with more than four million copies sold in the United States alone. I was really curious about it and wanted to bring it home since I have teenagers. The organization feels very trustworthy. It includes standard pronunciation symbols.

As its slogan says, WORD SMART is “the vocabulary-learning bible created by the Princeton Review team and studied by students across America!” It is also a steady seller, with more than four million

I can now explain English grammar to other people, and I keep studying pronunciation so I can speak confidently without relying on a translation app. And yet! Why can I still not understand what I hear!!! I realized why while studying with WORD SMART 2. Good grief... out of ten words, it is hard to find even two that I know.
