When I think of videos, the first thing that comes to my mind--and
likely to yours as well, is Youtube. But did you know for word-nerds,
there's a series of videos on a well-known site that focuses on words,
grammar usage, and basic etymology?
Each time you open Merriam-Webster online
, in the upper right corner there's a video that shares some kind of
information about words and grammar. Maybe you've seen this. But, did
you know there is an index where you can select from the videos they randomly play. And the topics are broad, from "That vs. Which"
to "Michael Jackson"--and the word everyone looked up after his death. Their list of videos is on this page.
And while you have time to kill (don't we all?? Just kidding) Merriam-Webster also has vocabulary quizzes on this page.
