Choice Words That Speak Volumes - Published on 11/03/16

THE CLEVER DIK'shun'ree is a serious attempt at improving our English language skills by encouraging us to adopt a range of choice words. Available on Apple iBooks, this new, inexpensive publication ignores those everyday words we commonly know and use, and focuses on just 2,000 "carefully chosen" words. Quite simply THE CLEVER DIK'shun'ree sets out to upgrade English language skills by gearing up our word power, thereby making us more articulate.

Sydney, Australia - It may have a catchy, fun title, yet Mediawide's THE CLEVER DIK'shun'ree is a serious attempt at improving our English language skills by encouraging us to adopt a range of choice words. Available on Apple iBooks, this new, inexpensive publication ignores those everyday words we commonly know and use, and focuses on just 2,000 "carefully chosen" words.

Those who toss statistics around estimate that native English speakers who finish their education at high-school know about 12,000 words, while those who go on to university and college, graduate with about 20,000. That says little about the standard or quality of those words, of course, and this is where THE CLEVER DIK'shun'ree comes into its own by giving us the meaning while providing phonetic pronunciation for all of them. Which after all is a bonus if you refrain from voicing certain words because you're not too sure what they mean, let alone know how they should sound.

Quite simply THE CLEVER DIK'shun'ree sets out to upgrade English language skills by gearing up our word power, thereby making us more articulate. For example, its A-Z line-up includes words such as:

adulterate - adull'terate - v, to debase, weaken, corrupt
culpable - kul'pabull - adj, deserving blame/or punishment
nepotism - nepper'tism - n, favouring relatives when awarding positions
ubiquitous - yew'bik'kwetus - adj, being everywhere

You may already be acquainted with some of the select words, some you may have heard before and not know exactly what they mean, and some will be new. And to counter enunciation errors and potential embarrassment, there's an easy to understand written phonetic pronunciation of each word, plus in the audio version, a voice recording of each individual word.

But most recognised dictionaries do all this, don't they? Not quite, they voice the words, too, but for written pronunciation they almost all employ a system of symbols, which to most of us is confusing.

Most significant is that THE CLEVER DIK'shun'ree takes readers directly to its special 2,000-word collection. Participants from all levels of society can learn a word a day, or at their own pace. So, we don't have to struggle to determine which ones we'd love to know, because thanks to some thoughtful filtering it's all been done for us.

Becoming articulate is no bad thing to aim for. Start flicking and clicking through the pages and we'll get drawn in, says Mediawide, and soon we will discover that taking these words on board "is not only helping to raise self-esteem" but also to lift us above the average, impress our peers and enhance future prospects.
