Hello appreciated @majes.tytyty.

I admire your perseverance with these vocabulary exercises. I see that this is # 259.

I congratulate you from my heart.

Thanks. Yes, I've been at it for quite a while. I still have about 100 more of these.

Then, of course, I'll move on to another series.

100 more? how good!
I will continue doing the executions every time. I like them very much.
English is not my native language. Sometimes I feel insecure to do the prayers, so I have to find out different examples. In that way I have learned.
Thank you.

Great. This is intended primarily for English as a Second Language learners. So you should benefit greatly from it.

Study a few words per day, for a year or more, and your vocabulary will surely increase. Best of luck.

I'm loving it! Thanks so much for your efforts!

very nice bro
