Quote of the day taken from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's book, Love in the time of Cholera

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!

If you have comments or questions and suggestions, please contact me at @SamFold or send me an email at [email protected]
