I have yet another book to recommend.
It is titled 103 Words that will make YOU A well-rounded Conversationalist!.
As with 101 Words … and 102 Words … by Kim Rogers, this book would be a wonderful gift for a teenager or adult.
“Comestible” is one of the words in this book and is a good example of the value of learning another language.
“Comer” is the Spanish verb for “to eat”; “comestible” in Spanish means edible or comestible in English.
So, although “comestible” in Spanish is pronounced differently than “comestible” in English, these two words with identical meanings have identical spellings.
In other words, “comestible” is a Spanish/English true cognate.
This book contains many words that are not at the tip of my tongue. I recognized all of them but would have failed at correctly providing all of their definitions.
So, as with 101 Words … and 102 Words …, I can imagine some of these words appearing on an SAT exam.
And, as with 101 Words … and 102 Words …, the price is right, too.
No matter whether English is your native language or is a foreign language, I highly recommend that you read what the author says about this book and then buy it!
