Section Description
You will never look at words or the English language the same way again. Open your mind to the histories of individual words in English and other languages. This course will expand your vocabulary immensely and provide you with the tools to keep expanding it. We explore the Greek and Latin roots of English vocabulary as well as other languages which English has borrowed from. There are two lesson books, published by the Classics Department, available only in the bookstore. They are not very expensive.
