I like this! Even for a single-lingual it’s important. My husband and I do words of the day as a joke with each other in daily conversations. Odd words not commonly used but heard on History/Sci-Fi Channel. They always sound profound when heard by someone who should know what they’re talking about. Until recently we decided to actually look the word up and discovered they’d been using it incorrectly. 😬

This is exactly why one needs to know the meaning of unusual words.
I love your idea of doing word of the day at home. Even I’m thinking of doing something like this at home.
Thanks for dropping by 🙂
