One of the best methods for improving your vocabulary is: delving into word origins.
As an example: Let's say that you are studying geography and you come across the word monsoon. Many students believe that monsoon refers to the wet season. The English word is derived from the Arabic: mawsim, which means season. Having said that we will start our first matching quiz with words derived from Arabic.
The difficult thing about doing word derivations is that many words came from a string of languages. Our first quiz will start with Arabic and end with English without allowing for too much interference from other derivations.
