Summary

The words for today are: Corroborate, Specious, Pathological, Fallow

VictorPrep's vocab podcast is for improving for English vocabulary skills while helping you prepare for your standardized tests!

This podcast isn't only intended for those studying for the GRE or SAT, but also for people who enjoy learning, and especially those who want to improve their English skills.

I run the podcast for fun and because I want to help people out there studying for tests or simply learning English.

The podcast covers a variety of words and sometimes additionally covers word roots. Using a podcast to prep for the verbal test lets you study while on the go, or even while working out!

1:04.0

The difficulty lies in learning that we ourselves encompass forces equally great,

1:11.0

we say, I will, and I will not. And imagine ourselves, though we obey the orders of

1:18.1

some prosaic person every day, our own masters, when the truth is that our masters are sleeping, one wakes within us, and we are

1:27.5

chicanery, and Winsome. Tasset means something that is understood or
