Visual Thesauras.

Pretty awesome software. I use it every single day. Thanks to legolas who suggested it in the first place... or was it someone else?

Vocabulary building?
For whom? For you or some child?
Purpose? To speak fluently without running out of words or to 'shine marne ke liye'(to showoff hi-fi English words)

^^ For all purposes, you can use that software Vocab building is actually pretty easy, if you're training for gre/toefl/gmat/ielts you can do 5+ words a day. For a school student or anyone with average english knowledge 1 word a day would suffice. But one advice common to everyone is, read. You can read anything like novels, magazines, newspapers but do it in front of the comp since you can look those hard-sounding words up at dictionary.com or get a dictionary software(I use merriam-webster's collegiate dictionary software) Take this from a person who does vocab training when bored.

@rohan. I need it for myself.

I got 7.5 in IELTS. 8.5 in reading.

My writing is not that good, so i need to work on my vocabulary.
