Hello there and welcome to the fifth episode of the Victor Prep for Vocal Podcast, this is Sam and as usual we'll start with the words from the last time.

Those were aggregates, Abstemious, Castigate, and Paradox. I hope you remember

what they mean. I'll go through them now. Aggregate, that means to bring together to collect numerous things

into one thing, into one sum or mass, abstemious.

That means to be sparing in eating or drinking, perhaps to be temperate in lifestyle, like a monk,

not spending much money, not eating too much or drinking too much.

Living an abstemious lifestyle means to live within your means and to not be spending too much money. Castigate, that is to punish

severely, to criticize strongly, it's a very strong word. If youasticate someone they'll really know about it and you will remember it.

Our last word from last time was paradox.

Paradox is something that is self-contradictory, a statement or proposition that almost seems absurd or contradicts itself.

The everyday paradox, for an example, was you could save money by spending it or in

Hamlet Hamlet says I must be cruel to be kind. Those were our four words of last time. I hope you remember them all. If not, as usual, don't worry. Review, listen to the

podcast again, write out some example sentences. And like I always say, the more weird the examples

are, the more memorable they will be. So make them absurd, make them weird, make them strange, and those images will sit in your mind and you will remember them.

So, this week, as usual, we have four new words, and let's go.

Our four new words are intrepid, implacable, inert and silly.

So let's start with our first word, which is intrepid.

Now intrepid is spelled I N T R E P I D

Intrepid and what it means is Indiana Jones.

Well it doesn't literally mean Indiana Jones

but I want you to think about Indiana Jones,

because I think most people who are listening to this have seen an Indiana Jones movie or have heard of him.
