Studies over many decades have proven that a strong command of the English language is directly linked to career advancement, to the money you make, and to social success. To move ahead in your career, your vocabulary level must at least equal the average level of the members of your profession. To excel, your vocabulary must surpass that of your colleagues. People judge you by the words you use, and rightly or wrongly, they make assumptions about your intelligence, your education and your capabilities. Nothing makes a better impression than a solid mastery of the English language.
Not having a strong command of language can be a serious handicap, an obstacle that prevents you from achieving your goals. Someone who cannot express ideas eloquently and hesitates because of uncertainty about the right word will appear less than fully competent and qualified. Don't let that kind of mistake hold you back from achieving your career goals and from all the other rewards and recognition you deserve. It makes sense to have at your command as large, as diverse and as exact a vocabulary as possible.
This comprehensive program will expand your vocabulary and sharpen your command of the English language. In as little as 15 minutes a day, Verbal Advantage can substantially improve your overall vocabulary and communication skills. It will also help you avoid common errors in pronunciation, spelling, grammar, and usage. Every key word is defined, spelled out, carefully pronounced and used in a sentence. Best of all, it's on audio CDs, so to benefit, all you have to do is listen!
Each of the vocabulary words is pronounced, spelled, defined, and used in sentences for easy retention. Short quizzes allow students to check their progress and proceed at their own pace. The accompanying guidebook provides visual support, a complete list of words introduced in the program and their definitions. It couldn't be easier to learn. There aren't any dull lectures or boring study sessions - all you have to do is listen!
