OED word-of-the-day

Color me clueless. Oxford English? If so, very expensive. Like I said earlier, about 10K of English words are derived from Latin. One book I read stated that a basic vocabulary of 1000 Latin words was HUGH. Textkit's vocabulary service is FREE, and you can get as many words a day as you'd like, as well as on-line reviews/tests to see how you're doing. I've seen another site that has a on-demand vocabulary test as well.

The Oxford English Dictionary w-o-t-d gives the earliest usage of a word. I'd actually rather know the derviation of a word, if it comes from Latin, German, etc. Thanks for reminding me of Textkit again. I'll definitely check it out.

Eheu! I say that's hugh! [lol, only on FR!]

Now that I've learned all that Latin, I think I'll go back and review all the lessons again.

Here's a question: How big of a market for Latin is there? I wonder how many copies of Dr. Seuss in Latin were sold.

I'm just about to sign up for Textkit. I opened a few of the vocabulary words. They give the definition, but not the pronunciation. Does the actual course give the pronunciation?
