Comic Vocab: Laugh Your Way to a Better Vocabulary Review
I smiled a lot while listening to Comic Vocab. =) The other reviews just confirmed my belief that humor and comedy are subjective. The humor in this product worked for me. It kept my attention and I learned a bunch of new words. There were only a few times when I laughed out loud, but most of the jokes managed to get me to smile, and that was enough for me to enjoy the product and learn from it.
Comic Vocab: Laugh Your Way to a Better Vocabulary Overview
Listen. Laugh. Learn!
Comic Vocab is a fun, clean way to:
- Communicate intelligently
- Perform better on standardized exams
- Get excited about learning new words
Students, parents and professionals will love it!
What makes Comic Vocab different?
We all know that having a strong vocabulary is important, but learning new words is frustrating, repetitive, and just plain boring. There has to be a better way. What if your favorite joke taught you the meaning of a word? Better yet, what if you had a joke for every word you wanted to learn? You'd laugh a lot and you'd improve your vocabulary without even knowing it. That, in a nutshell, is Comic Vocab. You'll listen, you'll laugh, and you'll learn.
Why does Comic Vocab work?
Comic Vocab is a highly effective vocabulary-building tool. Its success stems from the innovative use of clean comedy. Comedy has all of the great ingredients for learning vocabulary. It keeps your attention and it's memorable. Instead of forcing a connection between a word and its definition, comedy marries the two through ridiculous imagery, funny sounding characters, and a personal connection.
What words will I learn?
We carefully selected our words using a simple equation. Take the words that appear on standardized exams and those you find in publications. Subtract the words you already know and the words you'd never use.
Here's a sample of the words you'll learn: cadge, prolix, zephyr, bedizen, hirsute, frowzy, bibulous, quaff, salubrious, argot, and many more!

Customer Reviews
Don't waste your money. - Kevin Gold - Seattle, WA
Don't waste your money on this item. Whoever wrote this clearly doesn't understand comedy. I couldn't stand it after a couple of minutes of listening. Look for something different if you really want to learn.
Didn't work for a teen - a student -
My teen couldn't stand it. Humor was lame. The pace was annoyingly slow and the choice of words seemed too advanced for the humor level. Total of 55 words. I like the idea of audio vocabulary but the content didn't work for us.
Not so great - Judy Piper - Woburn, MA
I found the voices in the CD quite annoying and the jokes weren't that funny.
