What My Kindle Has Taught Me Recently – 英会話・英語 アミック
2018/07/06
One of my favorite things about reading on my Kindle e-reader is that if I come across a word I don’t know, I can see the definition just by highlighting it with my finger. Looking back through my highlights, here are some new words I have learned recently:
- Andirons- a support that logs are laid on top of for burning in a fireplace
- Encomium- the high praise of a person or thing
- Histrionics- displaying emotion to have some kind of desired effect on others, such as in a theatrical performance
- Ignominious- humiliating, disgraceful, shameful
- Rector- a priest or clergy member in charge of a church or parish
