Mastering GRE vocabulary is not easy because the majority of these words are highly abstract and not very frequently-used. GRE vocabulary flashcards that are available in the market, even Kaplan GRE vocabulary, mainly lack effective illustrations and contextualization.
A perfect way to learn and digest GRE vocabulary is to learn them in authentic or real context, and not out of context. At LELB Society, we have included 500 GRE vocabulary flashcards, accessible to our students at the bottom of this page. These 500 advanced words have been selected from authentic contexts, namely books, film scripts, magazines, websites, plays, poems, and the like. All these 500 vocabulary items come with definitions, synonyms, antonyms, parts of speech, collocations, and the like to expand your vocabulary learning experience.
To help you master difficult GRE vocabulary flashcards, we’ve taken another step and illustrated all of the 500 words. They are also organized and classified according to themes, such as, psychology, legal terms, emotion, medicine, depression, traveling, and +18,000 other keywords or tags. Our experience over one decade has proved it to us that learning vocabulary in context with images can facilitate vocabulary enrichment to a high extent.
It is important to note that all these 500 GRE vocabulary flashcards are designed and edited by Dr. Mohammad Hossein Hariri Asl, the creator and chief administrator at LELB Society, and he has just borrowed the individual words from Kaplan GRE vocabulary items, one of the most reliable GRE vocabulary resources. In other words, the definitions, examples, synonyms, antonyms, illustrations, etc. are totally original.
Apart from 500 GRE flashcards found below, our students at LELB Society can access thousands of other advanced vocabulary items in real context with images selected from best-selling vocabulary books, including 504 Absolutely Essential Words, 1100 Words You Need to Know and 601 Words You Need to Know to Pass Your Exam. All these words are carefully illustrated and semantically organized around topics. Our students can also select any word or text and listen to the selected text on demand to perfect their listening comprehension.
Vocabulary learning is actually an ongoing project that should be practiced on a daily basis. At LELB Society, you can learn at least one new advanced vocabulary in context with images every single day. The good news is that any new vocabulary you learn at LELB Society is intelligently added to our growing corpus to help you develop the positive habit of daily vocabulary expansion.
