Listen to the Vocab Minute

I’m sure the Princeton Review doesn’t really need my help in promoting their Vocabulary Minute podcast, but it’s 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. Since launching in December the podcast updates 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 the company keeps this up, this is like getting one of those vocabulary building books and some cool entertainment all rolled into one fun package.
