I’m sure the Princeton Review doesn’t really need my help in promoting their Vocabulary Minute podcast, but the Princeton Review Vocab Minute is too awesome not to mention. It’s like Schoolhouse Rocks meets your English teacher, with a little musical help from Tom Lehrer thrown in for good measure.
Each update contains a short song about a particular vocabulary topic with entertaining examples sung throughout. The songs typically start with a common word and add three increasingly less common synonyms so that you come away with a larger vocabulary while simultaneously being entertained.
Since launching the Princeton Review vocab minute podcast in December, updates come about once every two weeks with songs like I Agree (Do you concur or acquiesce?), The Silly Hate Song (make words not war), and Do you know an Ingenue? Assuming Princeton Review Vocab Minute continues with new episodes, this is like getting one of those vocabulary building books and some cool entertainment all rolled into one fun package.
