Fond of Words

The other day I was very privileged to assist to the presentation of an extraordinary and extremely useful new webpage called fondofwords.com. This page has been created by a sixth form student, Ivo Sequeros, as a research work and it must be said that it is an admirable project.

This webpage has been designed to help students of English with their learning. The aim is to replace the long lists of words that are often written on pieces of paper and that often get lost and therefore prove useless in time. Fondofwords.com allows you to create at your own pace your own personal dictionary. It will help you finding that word you want to add, give you a definition, synonyms, related terms and much more information.

Fondofwords.com is not only useful for students though. It is also a brilliant tool for teachers who can make vocabulary lists and share them with their students in order to ensure that they all have the needed information for an exam. When it comes to learning the vocabulary, the webpage will print the words as a list or even as flashcards. 

I would recommend this webpage to anyone learning English, formally or not, as it would help to improve your vocabulary and probably keep it alive. Hopefully it will be soon used not only by students, but by many learners of English. Signing up is fast and free, so why not give it a try?
