Yo yo nerds! I'm Tara and this is 90s Study Hall - where vocab meets VHS! We're learning some dope new words together using the freshest movies, TV and songs from the 90s - from Jurassic Park to Seinfeld to the Backstreet Boys if we must. I'm dropping knowledge bombs, keeping it jiggy, and making vocabulary building all that plus a bag of chips. So grab your Trapper Keeper and gel pens, you Millennial rascal - class is in session!

But for real: Research on vocabulary learning shows that we remember new words more easily when we encounter them in multiple contexts instead of just memorizing a definition. Hearing a word pop up in different situations — like in a 90s movie quote, a song lyric, and a casual conversation — helps your brain connect the meaning to real-life usage, making the word “stickier” and easier to recall later. Plus, who doesn't love nostalgia from the best decade ever?

If you want to learn more words, sound smarter, build a better vocabulary, or just brush up on your English language while actually having fun along the ride, buckle up and let's do this.
