Today is our third day in our 30-day vocabulary  challenge for 2021. One new video a day for the next 30 days to help you learn and boost  your vocabulary. We're learning 105 words.

We're taking our words from the academic word  list so these are words you'll need to know if you're preparing for the IELTS or TOEFL exam, but  also if you read or watch news in English, or have conversations with native speakers. These are  intermediate words and they are useful, so grab a friend have them join the challenge with you and  let's do this. As always, if you like this video, or you learned something new, please like and  subscribe with notifications, it means a lot.

We're on day three and we're learning four  words today. I do have a download for you a list of all the words with definitions and sample  sentences, as well as quizzes to make sure you're really getting and remembering these words. You  can get that download by following this link, or the link in the video description. Today's  words are: significant, role, major, and period.

And we're looking at the different ways these  words are used in various situations. For each word, you'll get the definition, we'll cover the  pronunciation, you'll get to see up close footage of the mouth saying this word, and we'll also  have five examples from real life English.

Our first word is SIGNIFICANT.

Significant. It's a four-syllable word  with second syllable stress. Make sure those unstressed syllables are flatter, lower in  pitch. Sig-nificant. Ficant. Ficant. Significant.

As an adjective, it means large enough  to be noticed, or have an effect.

Very important, there's a significant  difference between prices in the two stores.

Let's again see this word up  close and in slow motion.

And now we'll go to Youglish for five  examples of this word in real situations.
