The NGSL, which Tim talked about in Episode 2, is a list of the top 2800 words of English in order of frequency- with the most used words at the beginning so you learn the most important vocabulary first. The NGSL is oriented mainly towards written, non-fiction English, which means that knowing the words in it well will help you better understand newspapers, magazines and books. It will also help you to sound smarter when you speak, and who doesn’t want that? In this episode, Tim tells 27 definitions of a selection of ten words from the NGSL- spirit (1331), lunch (1332), actual (1333), pool (1334), battle (1335), tradition (1336), cash (1337), hardly (1338), award (1339), and coach (1340)- so you understand them in depth and detail.
