Critic reviews

"[This series] is the best vocabulary learning tool I’ve come across. Whether you’re training for a standardized test, or just wanting to impress people, Terman has your back." (TheAudiobookworm.com)

Another funny, knowledge-building installment

This is the second book in Amanda Terman's Vocabulary Series, from which I gleaned valuable nuggets of knowledge, and just as many laughs as from the preceeding installment, "LOL From A to Z". Her method of teaching common, yet ofttimes confusing or troublesome, vocabulary terms employs a brief humorous story or statement to encourage easier recollection of the word's definition and proper usage. A short quiz challenges the reader's memory and further reinforces learning of each new word. As a high school senior, one crafty English teacher of mine used a similar method for a list of 500 words we might see on the SAT, a tactic which proved efficacious for me. Even though I won't be using this series in prep of some major test, I find that continual, lifelong learning keeps my brain fit, healthy, and oh-so-sexy. (Even when the body associated with my brain isn't!)

I Love The Vocab Series

LMAO from A to Z, book 2 of the Vocab Series was such an awesome listen. These are short and I think they are so fun that about halfway through, I'm wishing it was longer. Once I start listening I can't get enough and strangely, I remember the words. It's funny and it works. When I heard the word "limpid" and it's use in a sentence I was braiding rope and literally had to stop what I was doing. It was funny. A few others I thought were cute were neophyte, obviate, and tyro.

I think it's great that Amanda Terman narrates her own books. She does a wonderful job and she makes it fun as well as funny. I think it would be really hard to listen and keep a straight face. I look forward to more of the Vocab Series.

Improve Your Lexicon

Don’t be a feckless wonder and let big words scare you. LMAO from A to Z will help you overcome your fear. If you have difficulty retaining the meaning of words, especially if you’re studying for admission to a graduate program, this book is a necessity. It gives you a unique way to study vocabulary and remember its proper use. The recap after each segment cements your knowledge.

LMAO from A to Z is nerdy fun, sometimes a little corny. But trust me when I say you’ll never forget the meaning of the words and that’s the goal, isn’t it? Don’t forget to download the PDF with the word list because seeing the words is just as important as hearing them.

A Fun Mental Workout!

4.25★ Audiobook⎮ Listening to The Vocab Book Series is a quick burst of mental nourishment. It leaves me with a feeling of just having done something good for myself, along the lines of taking vitamins, drinking lots of water, or physical exercise. Listening to LMAO from A to Z is akin to an intellectual workout, only a lot more fun!

If this were a workout, Amanda Terman would be an excellent personal trainer. Just like in LOL from A to Z, she makes the learning routine fun and memorable. The examples she provides aren't anything I'm soon to forget! True to its name, LMAO from A to Z had me in stitches of laughter by the second vocabulary word (bromide). It takes a certain type of creativity and quirk to invent such colorful vignettes for each vocabulary word. I would love to know Terman's inspiration behind them.

As much as I enjoyed my initial experience with LOL from A to Z, my time listening to LMAO from A to Z felt more fruitful. The recent addition of an accompanying PDF vocabulary list on the Audible download page increased my overall enjoyment and retention. Listening to LMAO from A to Z isn't a one-time deal. Repetition is required in order to cement the newly acquired material into long-term memory (which is the goal). Being able to review the PDF vocabulary list goes a long way toward helping the listener to achieve this goal.

The Vocab Book Series is the best vocabulary learning tool I've come across. Whether you're training for a standardized test or just wanting to impress people, Terman has your back.

Narration review: Another thing that gave LMAO from A to Z a slight edge over LOL from A to Z was the narration. Terman narrates both titles, but experience has improved her style. The narration seemed more effortless this time around, which aided the humorous effect. Her tone, enunciation and articulation still clearly said "Listen up!", while her comedic timing livened the learning experience. ♣︎
