副題 Improve your vocabulary: From 14 to 40,000 Words in 7 Weeks!
授業概要 Many words in English can be broken down into a number of very few parts or 'roots'. A study of the general meanings associated with these roots, together with prefixes and suffixes, whether they be from Greek or Latin, is a very important step in improving your vocabulary skills. As you become aware of how words are made up, familiar words will take on a new meaning, and, through your knowledge of word roots, you will increasingly be able to guess the meaning of unfamiliar words. One academic has suggested that learning just 14 words will provide you with the 14 most important roots and the 20 most useful prefixes which are the key to understanding over 14,000 words! So, this workshop aims to introduce you to a number of word roots which can play a very importantミand interestingミpart in expanding your vocabulary,
