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!

0:00.0 | Hello, everybody. Happy Halloween. It is, yes, it's Tuesday 31st of October. It is Halloween. |
0:11.0 | It's also time for episode 134 of Victor Prep, of course. And I have a Halloween themed |
0:19.1 | joke for you today. So why did the zombie listen to Victor Prep? Well, the answer is because |
0:29.5 | he wanted to improve his dead geocation. Oh God. Yes. Right. So moving swiftly on, I hope |
0:43.0 | wherever you are, you're having a great day and that you've got some fun plans for tonight, |
0:48.0 | although it is Tuesday. But anyway, you can still do fun things on a Tuesday and go trick |
0:53.9 | or treating or take your kids trick or treating or whatever it is you're going to do. But |
0:59.0 | what we are going to do is review our words from episode 133, which were, if you remember, |

1:18.9 | critical language, imbu. So to imbu means to inspire or to permeate with. So permeate |
1:29.0 | with some feeling or quality. Ribbled, which means referring to sexual matters or themes in |
1:38.4 | an amusingly course or irreverent way. And finally, we had levy, which is an embankment |

2:22.1 | this is quite a simple word. It means one thing. And there's no synonyms really for it. And |
2:29.4 | it means the study or collection of coins, banknotes and medals. And so the actual word for |
2:37.7 | a person who does this, the person who studies or collects coins, is in numismatics. So |
2:46.0 | the general field is numismatics. And an individual or a person who does this is in numismatics. And |
2:53.6 | actually, my grandfather was in numismatics. And I remember after he died, my dad was showing |
