It is my firm belief that one of the main reasons why so many people do not learn foreign languages, is that they simply do not know how to do it.
Instead of a long post today about things I do when I learn, today I'm going to change it up a bit and ask for input from my readers.
Today, I'll look at some of the ways that Greek words can be found in the roots of English words.
When I started learning Greek this year, one of the biggest challenges I had to overcome was dealing with false friends.
If you asked me to choose the one language-learning activity that I think provides the greatest increase in knowledge and ability, I would always say the same thing: learning to read.
It's been a while since I updated here. Rest assured, that's not because I've given up. There's a good reason for the recent silence — I've moved!
It's not learning a language that's hard. Actually, taken at face value, 'learning' is easy, and 'language' is easy.
For the next month or two, I'm going to charge through all the Greek materials I can find, and do it as fast as possible.
On the whole, one comes away from Babel No More feeling that it does a great job of asking questions, but doesn't make many overt attempts to offer answers.
