Visual dictionary
Are you a visual learner? Do you want to increase your vocabulary?
There is a great online 'visual dictionary' here. Just type a word in the search bar and watch lots of connected words appear.
Warning - some of the definitions are quite difficult, but you should be able to find lots of new words and can look them up in your own dictionary, if you need to.
