The words for today are: Mendacious, Fractious, Lassitude, Zephyr.
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.
The podcast covers a variety of words and sometimes additionally covers word roots. Using a podcast to prep for the verbal test lets you study while on the go, or even while working out!

| 0:00.0 | Hello there. This is Sam, as always, and this is episode 53 of the Victor Prep English vocab podcast. Let's get started with an amazing quote by the philosopher Epictatus. |
| 0:21.3 | First say to yourself what you would be, then do what you have to do. Now I love this quote. It's amazing, but one thing I have to say is that everyone who's listening to the podcast is special. |
| 0:36.0 | And the reason I say that is because you've chosen to do something hard. |
| 0:41.0 | You've chosen to learn something. You've chosen to spend your own time to better yourself. |
| 0:47.0 | Not because anyone's forcing you to do it, but because you have something that is driving you, some goal or some dream, whether it's for |
| 0:59.2 | just to bet yourself to improve your language skills to help you at work or because you're trying |
| 1:06.0 | to learn English and you want to get the best English possible or because you really want to |
| 1:10.5 | get into a great school and you want to get a really good score in the GRE. But whatever reason you're you're doing |

| 1:45.2 | People don't like it when it hurts and they don't like feeling like they're not good at something. |
| 1:49.2 | So the fact that you're here and you're listening or you're watching shows that you have something. |
| 1:56.8 | And when you get tired and when you want to quit, I just want you think of everyone else who's listening to the podcast and |
| 2:05.7 | realize that we're all a team. We are one big team and I'm part of that team and |
| 2:12.1 | all those guys who in India listen to this podcast they're part of the team all the guys in the US they're also part of the team |
| 2:20.4 | guys in China the guys Nepal, the guys in England, we're all part of the same team. |
| 2:27.0 | And if you were feeling low on energy and you want to quit, you don't want to study anymore, you don't want to quit you don't want to study anymore you don't listen to the |
