• Lists of roots, prefixes, and suffixes and their examples: Many English words are made of word parts called roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The knowledge of word parts is useful to retain the meanings of unfamiliar words, since their meanings can be obtained by analyzing their component word parts. In addition, this knowledge is useful to decode academic, field-specific words, as these words are normally made from known word parts. Since many English words share the same roots and particles, it is useful to study them based on their roots and particles. So this audiobook contains lists of roots, prefixes and suffixes, and examples of words that use them.

So it is efficient to memorize words based on their similarity in meaning. This method is especially useful since many exam questions ask for synonyms or antonyms of given words. So this audiobook contains a list of synonyms and antonyms of common words.
