Hello guys. From today onwards, apart from the regular technical posts, I'll also be starting a new series - GRE GMAT CAT Wordlists. From time to time I'll try to post unique sets of words with their meanings. The objective is to aid you guys for preparation of competitive exams like GRE GMAT CAT etc. The wordlists would really help you gain a competitive edge in the verbal and comprehension sections of the exams.
FYI these are inspired by Barron's GRE word reference. The only difference is that Barron's words are sorted in alphabetical sequence. While I'll try to mix and match the words in any random sequence. Hope it helps.
Here are some casual tips to improve your English :

Here are some casual tips to improve your English :
- Try to memorise the words and their meanings.
- Try to use these words and construct sentences. If you read an article from a newspaper or magazine, try to incorporate the newly learned words in it and reconstruct a certain phrase or statement.
- Definitely use flashcards. They help a lot in memorising the words.
- Read lots of books and articles.
- Watch lots of English movies and television soaps.
- Socialise a lot and network around, all while speaking in English.
- (Optional) Date around, flirt a lot and chat in English. Helps build confidence ;)
Ok let's get going guys. Here's the first set of 10 words for today.
