VictorPrep's vocab podcast is for improving for English vocabulary skills while helping you prepare for your standardized tests!
This podcast isn't only intended for those studying for the GRE or SAT, but also for people who enjoy learning, and especially those who want to improve their English skills.
I run the podcast for fun and because I want to help people out there studying for tests or simply learning English.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 50 of the Victor Prep vocab podcast |
| 0:07.0 | starting off with a quote from Alexander Dumas, an amazing author you have to read the Count of Monte Cristo. |
| 0:15.0 | So if you haven't read that book, add it to your list. |
| 0:17.8 | There is neither happiness nor misery in the world. |
| 0:20.8 | There is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest |
| 0:26.1 | grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life |
| 0:35.8 | So episode 50 well I can't believe it. It's taken a while for it to happen due to the lack of episodes recently but |
| 0:44.8 | anyway episode 50 hopefully we'll do another 50 episodes together but before we get |
| 0:51.4 | started on the new stuff let's just quickly go over what we did in episode 49. |
| 0:56.0 | Those words were flagmatic, flagmatic. |

| 1:28.1 | Mal addiction, that is a curse, as in a magical curse. So if you anger a witch or a |
| 1:37.2 | wizard and they curse you, that is a maladdiction. And our final word from last time was philanthropy. |
| 1:45.0 | Philanthropy. That is the desire to promote the welfare of others, giving gifts, money, or just helping people. So guys let's learn some new words and our |
| 1:58.6 | first word is complacent. Complacent. |
| 2:03.0 | Now I have to do a bit of explanation here because there are two words homophones |
| 2:09.0 | with different spellings. So those complacent spelled C-O-M-P-L-A-I-S-A-N-T, that's the one we're learning today, complacent. |
| 2:20.0 | And there's also another complacent, which is C-O-M-P-L-A-C-E-N-T. |
