LM #4: Latin & Greek


Dear, Conqueror
If you haven't invaded Britain jet, please, make sure that you leave alone at least English. 



And for the rest of the audience - hello, I hope you're having an incredible time!

As you could understand, I would like to talk about the multiple antient roots in English. Probably, most of you know that words like philosophy, chronological or biography are from Greek, but there are way more exported words whose origin might be not evident for you. For instance, words like bicycle, monarch or even vacation are transported from Latin and Greek.

As for the language learners or the philologists, knowing the word's root is beneficial for you and might even prevent from making various mistakes (such as misspelling or misunderstanding). Moreover, it helps in mastering word formation, which is rather challenging. I wish I knew that during my Latin course in the Uni. Overall, do not postpone rediscovering infinite numbers of prefixes or suffixes - it'll definitely pay off.
