The final lesson summarises the unit’s grammar and vocabulary learning. We also make our own mini dictionaries and recording the unit’s vocabulary in it before checking what we know in the Unit Quiz.
So far in this unit, we’ve learned about the similarities between Latin and English. In this lesson we explore how English puts words together to make sentences, and how Latin does it differently.
Let’s extend our word detective skills and discover how many of the things we see around us – and not just their names – have their roots in the worlds of Rome and Ancient Greece.
The Latin language borrowed a lot from Ancient Greek… and so have modern scientists. Knowing a little bit about Ancient Greek roots is a useful tool in understanding mathematical and scientific vocabulary.
