Ooh I love this

Is there a community where there's daily interesting words, either from old timely English or just plain uncommon even in today's English?

That's how I learned English way back then, on top of having an awesome teacher encouraging it. She would ask the class to find a couple of words or give some weekly, have us write a couple sentences using it and she would correct us.
