Description

- 6706 advanced English words compiled from GRE and SAT wordlists. - 264 Additional words I've came across when reading. - Google dictionary definitions for each word. - Google WaveNet audio for each word. - Example sentences for the majority of words. - Synonyms for the majority of words. An example card : https://imgur.com/mrl2aVo As it's such a large deck I don't believe it's worthwhile testing back and front as there will be too many viable synonyms. We want to learn the word not the card. As such the default deck format will test in two ways. 1. Word > definition page 2. Word + example sentence > definition page The SAT&GRE vocab is tagged if you want to study that alone. You can read about the deck creation process here : https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/g4ez76/i_made_a_deck_aimed_at_advanced_english/ FAQ - Images? I'm manually adding images for a very small selection of words that I believe can be encapsulated within in a image. Bugs? The early deck generation code had 2 bugs. Bug 1: Slightly messed up punctuation and removed capitalisation from a very small set of cards. Bug 2: If a word had a certain combination of meanings my code would only use the last definition listed. This only affected a handful of cards. The bug has been fixed for updates going forward and I'm manually addressing any legacy errors as I come across them. Copyright - As stated the definitions come from Google search and I believe come under the fair use policy. The audio was generated from Google WaveNet TTS and it's my understanding I may use them as I see fit. Sentences from other sources have been attributed in the notes. Images all attributed in the notes. If I'm in error about my usage of any materials then please contact me regarding removal. UPDATE : (Will show details of last 3 updates) 10/08/20 - 19 new words, few improvements to definitions, more example sentences, a handful of images added. 24/08/20 - 21 new words, definition improvements, more example sentences, and some more images added. 07/09/20 - 45 new words, definition improvements, more example sentences, and some more images added.

please add more pictures as much as you can with your own acute discretion, thank you.

Comment from author I'm glad you're finding it useful. You can get the general idea of how I created it from the Reddit post linked in the description. I'm still making improvements to my script but plan on eventually releasing it. I was trying to build something like this manually and it was taking FOREVER. Really like the format of the deck and its coverage. How were you able to build this deck automatically, as I would like to add more words to it? Thanks for your efforts!



Would it be possible to add etymology of the words?

Thank you very much. Comment from author I'm afraid this won't be coming to the deck. I considered it at the conception of the deck, but ultimately the ease of using a pre-existing API won me over. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I do like this deck but I have a request.Would it be possible to add etymology of the words?Thank you very much.

Great deck, just exactly what i'm looking for.

Just the deck I was looking for to expand my vocabulary! (native speaker, but there are always more words to learn!)

Comment from author I can see the appeal of this but unfortunately I won't be adding it. I occasionally hit the API limit as I've got other projects that use my allowance. In the future after working through the deck and fixing any issues I might create a few audio packs and provide a link to download them. Sorry I can't be more helpful. This is a great deck. My only suggestion (and part request) is to add American English audio so that one can choose the audio field they prefer. This would appeal to a wider audience.

Nice! I've just made some changes in card style: I've chosen the colour 'leaf" for examples (it matches well with night mode) and also add the 'example 1' line in the front of the card so I can have some context before answer. Very good deck, simple, straightfoward and powerful. Congrats!

Comment from author That's high praise indeed! I'm glad you're finding it useful. Make sure you're updating periodically to get the most polished version. Thanks! This is by far the best Advanced English vocabulary deck I've ever seen here. I loved most particularly the way you shape and design the cards. This is clearly very well planned. Thank you for your effort.

brilliant

thank you for intending to add photos or pictures!

Comment from author I've got no plans to add images for every word. It's excessively labour intensive and I don't feel the majority of the words can be encapsulated within an image. However, I've had several people request images and I'm considering adding them for a small subsection of words that I feel would benefit. Thanks for the support and feedback. great deck, please add pictures or photos if it's possible

thank you, specially for adding history

Awesome

comprehensive
