What are 100 words that a grad school student should know?
Filed Under (grad schools) by admin
dashgalaxy86 asked:


The context may be important, so please take note; my girlfriend is from another country and she is looking to go to grad school in America. She speaks pretty good English but she’s not quite “near-native” in her proficiency level. What are some vocab words that any native speaker would know? Keep in mind, she is not a bad speaker, so don’t give me too many nouns, or words like “gesture”. I’m looking for academically useful words that smart Americans would know.

    regardless, too many people think irregardless is a word, it is’nt. also Stay away from the word,”Like”, too many people use it . ex: Like you know what I’m saying,
