Hi, I’m Gauri Shanker, the mind behind this blog. Words and their usage have been my world for years—not just vocabulary lists, but how they appear in real context, in collocations, grammar traps, and those tricky fill-in-the-blank questions.
I’ve turned that focus into teaching. I’ve published 4 Udemy courses on vocabulary, idioms, and roots, reaching 1,300+ students with a 4.7-star rating. I’ve also spent years studying and practising the verbal ability skills that exams like GRE, GMAT, IELTS, and TOEFL demand—at one point learning nearly 3,000 words in under three months by reading and applying them daily.
Here, I bring all of that together: vocabulary that sticks, usage explained simply, and strategies that actually work for test prep. If you’re aiming to master verbal ability for competitive exams, you’ll find the tools you need right here.
