Product description
The ultimate guide on how to speak eloquently, including 200 well-spoken alternatives to common words and phrases.
If you've ever fumbled while trying to use a big word ('lofty word, ' 'pretentious word') to impress a crowd, you know what it's like to ('know what it is to') be poorly spoken. The fear of mispronouncing or misusing complex words is real and leaves many of us consigned to the lower levels ('lower reaches, ' 'lower echelons') of the English language.
The secret to eloquence, however, lies in simplicity--the ability to use ordinary words in extraordinary ways.
The Well-Spoken Thesaurus is your guide to eloquence, featuring lessons from some of the articulate speakers of our past and present. While a common thesaurus provides only synonyms as mere word-for-word equivalents, The Well-Spoken Thesaurus is filled with ('awash in, ' 'instilled with, ' 'dense with, ' 'rich in') dynamic reinventions of standard words and phrases.
Lessons from history's greatest writers and speakers, including:
·Margaret Atwood
·Barack Obama
·T. S. Eliot
·Edith Wharton
·Martin Luther King, Jr.
·Henry James
·Barbara Kingsolver
·John Steinbeck
The Well-Spoken Thesaurus is the ultimate vocabulary builder for adults seeking to improve their vocabulary and speak better. Author: Tom Heehler Publisher: Sourcebooks Published: 02/01/2011 Pages: 400 Binding Type: Paperback Weight: 1.00lbs Size: 8.90h 5.90w 0.90d ISBN: 9781402243059 Review Citation(s): Reference and Research Bk News 04/01/2011 pg. 243
About the Author Tom Heehler is a degree student at the Harvard University Extension School and creator of Fluent in Five Languages, the free on the internet language course where students learn to speak four languages simultaneously - French, Italian, Spanish, and Romanian.

It has been extremely difficult navigating ADHD. I forget things easily, I get extreme brain fog and I’m always reaching for words that are not there. The Well Spoken Thesaurus has been my bestie. Although I’m very new with it. I think it will be fun to learn with you. If you want to learn with me grab you one. I have it linked in my showcase and I look forward to making these videos. #ad #showcase #fyp
