365 Days to Improve Your English

One word a day. That's the whole method. A bigger vocabulary is a set of tools: a way to be understood, and to understand other people more exactly. The right word carries a thought across with less friction and less room for doubt.

Each entry gives you the word with two pronunciation guides, a plain-English definition, two example sentences, two synonyms and two antonyms, its origin, and a short note that makes it stick. The words run A to Z across the year, so January opens with A and December closes with Z.

This is the revised 2026 edition: rewritten entries, cleaner pronunciations, and a redesigned page. At the back you'll find a guide to commonly confused words, for the pairs that trip everyone up.
