Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

But it also beguiles us with its endless mysteries, allowing us to ponder why different languages emerged, why there isn't simply a single language, how languages change over time and whether that's good or bad, and how languages die out and become extinct.

Yet, the research shows that humor and laughter are among the most valuable tools we have at our disposal for strengthening bonds and relationships, diffusing stress and tension, boosting resilience, and performing when the stakes are high.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Sexist but otherwise great way to learn words
Sexist! Great series, but in Chapter 222 Elster goes off on his assistant's "pulchritude" (what does it matter what she looks like) "melodic voice" and "cheeky" delivery of her suggestion (as always) to review if you missed more than eight words. Can you imagine if Elster had said this about a man (male voice)? He would have come across as gay. There's no discussion of Elster's physical appearance. Stuck to the script, the assistant cannot fight back. Please be aware of implicit sexism when you're listening to this or other seemingly benign, educational audiobooks. Nevertheless, I give this series five stars, although unless you're getting it for free, it's probably overpriced.

the best out there
What did you love best about Verbal Advantage Advanced Edition, Sections 6-10?
advanced words
What other book might you compare Verbal Advantage Advanced Edition, Sections 6-10 to and why?
My first audiobook purchase on Audible was 1500 Words for a Complete Vocabulary: Core Words #3. That audiobook is atrocious. On the other hand, Verbal Advantage is the best vocabulary product out there, bar none.
Which scene was your favorite?
N/A
What did you learn from Verbal Advantage Advanced Edition, Sections 6-10 that you would use in your daily life?
words, words, words
Any additional comments?
These are the same comments from my review of section one.
I first came across Verbal Advantage in 2003 or 2004, at a Borders bookstore. Prior to that, I owned two vocabulary building books: Get Wise Mastering Vocabulary Skills, a humorous take, and Word Power Made Easy, a gift from a high school teacher (it was used as a part of our SAT preparation course). Get Wise opened my mind, Word Power expanded it, and Verbal Advantage filled it up. I knew that the book was based on the audio program because it said so on the cover.
But back in 2003 or 2004 I was a high school senior with no money, so I could not afford the audio version. And when I came across this audio program here on Audible, I knew had to have it. As an Audible member I only had to use 2 credits to purchase both sections. The complete program of Verbal Advantage on the website of self-same name with dotcom suffix costs $164.95. Buying from Audible is a wise decision, member or not.
And if you buy Verbal Advantage, you may as well get Word Workout: Building a Muscular Vocabulary in 10 Easy Steps, from the same author. And Word Workout is not split in half.
If you are of two minds, and are vacillating between buying or not, I have two words for you: Buy it! If you are reading this review: Buy it! Verbal Advantage is the best vocabulary building program out there. And Word Workout is a perfect complement. These two programs will help you build a strong foundation of vocabulary upon which you can build a mansion of word knowledge. You know you want to build a mansion! Or at least I do. Maybe you want a bungalow or a beach house or a humble cottage in the woods. I for one want a mansion. Because a mansion of words is the only mansion most of us will ever be able to build.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes. Fun, time-efficient way to get a better grip on important words.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Verbal Advantage Advanced Edition, Sections 6-10?
Humorous instructions and pontifications were salted and peppered with recently-reviewed vocabulary words. An effective mnemonic device! See?
Have you listened to any of Charles Harrington Elster’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes. All his performances are excellent. Perfectly clear.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Five stars all the way around, except re: usage. Mr. Elster's elitist, schoolmarmish refusal to allow the English language to lead its own life, in its own way, on the tongues of its speakers, is snooty, snobby, constrictive, constipated, and contrary to the realities of experience. Listening to Mr. Elster nay-saying the free speech of a free people is nauseating. Reminds me of Xerxes punishing the ocean by going down to the beach and whipping the waves into submission. Better to let the waves come in and the words come out.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
