Vocab work - Almost French

Here a little excerpt of my vocab work I've just done. Maybe you can use some of them for your own writing.

• to immerse - The idea was to immerse myself in fascinating foreing cultures. (eintauchen)

• preconception - syn: prejudice

• haunt - The Cafe Vianna was a favourite haunt of journalists and actors. (a place that someone likes to go to often)

• conceal (F) - I couldn't conceal the doubt in my voice. syn: hide

• hurtle - All of a sudden, a car come hurtling round the corner. (rasen)

• peal of - We could hear peals of laughter. A loud peal of thunder. A sudden peal of bells.

• at odds - He found himself at odds with his colleagues. The two politicians were at odds over what was the truth.

• to be lost for words - For once in her life, she was lost for words.

I have to appologize for this rather chaotic list of words and phrases but I'm not yet totally familiar with blogging and making organized entries. I try my best to post maybe a table or something similar the next time.
