What is “ONE-WORD-A-DAY” ?

Perfect your English in just a few minutes,
every day!

Paul Smith‘s One-Word-A-Day (OWAD) is a FREE e.mail service which systematically raises the level of your English.

Standard English is absolutely necessary, but beyond that you may want to give your English a special boost with advanced vocabulary from the international press.

Often, a few quality words will add precision, and make a more favourable impression on business partners and friends.

For example:

flawless is more impact than "perfect ",
"sophisticated" sounds better than "clever", and
"donkey’s years" is more fun than "a very long time"...

Such language is very common in the US and UK.

Use OWAD a few minutes every day, and your English will progress from "good" to "outstanding".
