Product Description:
Listen. Laugh. Learn!
Comic Vocab is a fun, clean way to:
- Communicate intelligently
- Perform better on standardized exams
- Get excited about learning new words
Students, parents and professionals will love it!
What makes Comic Vocab different?
We all know that having a strong vocabulary is important, but learning new words is frustrating, repetitive, and just plain boring. There has to be a better way. What if your favorite joke taught you the meaning of a word? Better yet, what if you had a joke for every word you wanted to learn? You'd laugh a lot and you'd improve your vocabulary without even knowing it. That, in a nutshell, is Comic Vocab. You'll listen, you'll laugh, and you'll learn.
Why does Comic Vocab work?
Comic Vocab is a highly effective vocabulary-building tool. Its sucess stems from the innovative use of clean comedy. Comedy has all of the great ingredients for learning vocabulary. It keeps your attention and it's memorable. Instead of forcing a connection between a word and its definition, comedy marries the two through ridiculous imagery, funny sounding characters, and a personal connection.
What words will I learn?
We carefully selected our words using a simple equation. Take the words that appear on standardized exams and those you find in publications. Subtract the words you already know and the words you'd never use.
Here's a sample of the words you'll learn: cadge, prolix, zephyr, bedizen, hirsute, frowzy, bibulous, quaff, salubrious, argot, and many more!

Don't waste your money on this item. Whoever wrote this clearly doesn't understand comedy. I couldn't stand it after a couple of minutes of listening. Look for something different if you really want to learn.

My teen couldn't stand it. Humour was lame. The pace was annoyingly slow and the choice of words seemed too advanced for the humour level. Total of 55 words. I like the idea of audio vocabulary but the content didn't work for us.

I found the voices in the CD quite annoying and the jokes weren't that funny.

I smiled a lot while listening to Comic Vocab. =) The other reviews just confirmed my belief that humour and comedy are subjective. The humour in this product worked for me. It kept my attention and I learned a bunch of new words. There were only a few times when I laughed out loud, but most of the jokes managed to get me to smile, and that was enough for me to enjoy the product and learn from it.

I read the other reviews before buying this for my husband and I am so disappointed that I was persuaded to buy this item based on the good reviews. I just popped it in 30 minutes ago and we could only take about 15 minutes of listening to it before I had to turn it off. Just the very first 5 minutes alone let you know exactly how stupid the comic vocab audiobook is. Maybe I am just a tough critic with comedy, but I found this audiobook difficult to listen to because it was so ridiculous (and not ridiculously funny). My husband really didn't like it either. I'm sorry that I ever purchased this item and I hope my review will help others. If you think that weird voices and lame jokes are funny, such a "magician" telling you to lick your elbow, then this cd is for you. If you don't find that funny, DO NOT buy this audiobook or you may regret it like I do.
