Hello! Practicing new vocabulary for a long time is not always a good idea, especially for those who are busy with a whole lot of other stuff. That is why, today I set my timer for 15 minutes and did my practice. To be honest, I’m enamoured of Memrise because I can have either a slow practice or challenge myself doing a quick session. I usually switch to it when I catch myself on getting oblivious during practice or when it crosses my mind that the hastless tempo has become soporific.

These are some words that you might find eye-catching:

To posit — to suggest that a particular idea should be accepted as a fact. (SYN: postulate, presuppose, assume)

It does posit that individuals are inherently unequal in intelligence, in skills, and in status. (Longman Dictionary)

Preposterous — completely unreasonable or silly. (SYN: fatuous, absurd, crazy, foolish, incredible, irrational, ludicrous)

So what Raskin proposed actually seemed preposterous. (Longman Dictionary)

Bogus — not true or real, although someone is trying to make you think it is. (SYN: false, fake, phony)

On investigation, his claim was found to be bogus. (Cambridge Dictionary)

I also started enhancing my Spanish vocabulary so it took me 15 minutes to do a good practice.

Thank you for your time!
