Hi everyone!
Warm regards to all my countless followers..
Well today I would like to talk about two more little but sweet tools I came across today--- 'word of the day' and 'word clouds'.
Starting with 'word clouds', it is definitely one of those cute tools you can use sometimes..
it basically shows you the word frequency in any written text, and emphasizes the more frequent words with different font and color options (you can play with these features to your own taste)
it's useful for finding key words in a text, and the opposite - special words that we might want to recognize.
It can also be good for self assessment, maybe you were using to much the same words in your text. link to that - https://worditout.com/
and to the second tool....
'Word of the day'.. is my pick of the day!.. it is a small tool (gives you one word to learn each day) but on the long run- can probably really enhance your vocabulary (I'm just thinking if I would know another 365 words a year, in the past 3 years it would be already 1195 new English words In my pocket.. not bad.. just another few to go then..:))
two important recommendations though:
A. pick a 'word of the day' that suits your level, so you won't find yourself learning words that native English speakers do not know.. the best option I saw that applies to that is 'word think' under http://www.wordthink.com/
B. I would also probably recommend to go over (even quickly) the words, every week or so, and than every month and so you will actually remember the words.
blessings
