Episode 89: Portentous, Esprit de Corps, Acquisitive, and more
About this episode
Today's episode has a portentous feel to it... because today's first word is portentous.
Matt and Mom break down ten lesser-known vocabulary words including acquisitive, pallid, esprit de corps, shoal, kwashiorkor, and more, and give you a clever mnemonic to help you remember the meaning of each one.
Watch out for Willy Wonka getting blown over by a big gust of wind.
Enjoy!
