one word a day

Hello everybody !

I have subscribed to the English Language Learner’s Word of the Day. If you don’t know yet what it is I tell you. It’s easy to subscribe and free (nothing has to be paid) and you will receive every day on your mail the definition of an English word with his pronunciation that you can lesson at as many times as you wish to. I find it another quite easy way to learn vocabulary. I hope my English vocabulary will increased in leaps and bounds soon (see below the meaning of "in leaps and bounds"). Here is, for example, the definition of the word ‘leap’ I received this morning. I believe the definition is helpful because it gives different uses, examples in sentences and idioms.
