Raise your Vocabulary by 400 words before Christmas (Day 1)

According to language monitor, there are 1,025,109 words in English language. Nevertheless, I don't think you'll need that amount of words to communicate effectively. However, your vocabulary should be robust and should indicate your level of knowledge.

Shaquille O'Neal, a retired American professional basketball player told a story during his induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame. O'Neal said he got a scholarship into college because he was able to impress the coach with a word he had just picked out of the dictionary that day. The coach must have thought of him as a  brilliant kid. So, Shaq was awarded a scholarship to college and then ended up as one of the most dominant centers in the NBA.

See how important it is to build your vocabulary?

Jingle bells...

Challenge begins - Day 1
