Five Words a Day is an open-ended series of emails designed to enhance people’s understanding of vocabulary. Every second day, subscribers receive an email containing a short text about an aspect of vocabulary from which five words and/or phrases are extracted.

Vocabulary inhabits individual texts and the language at large, where it reveals itself through patterns and relationships. These are explored through strategies that cultivate critical, creative, and metacognitive thinking. This kind of active study leads to a deeper understanding of what it truly means to know a word and to the creation of a sophisticated vocabulary notebook. For learners who feel stuck on a plateau, it provides structured pathways that can catapult them into new cognitive realms.

Sign up for free. Subscribers can join at any time and begin from the first email.

After two months, subscribers may choose to become members for a modest fee. Membership provides lifetime access to quizzes, structured review forms, videos and additional resources that consolidate and extend the learning process.
