This lesson explores the links between the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece and modern times. We learn just why Latin is a foundational part of English (thank you, William the Conqueror!) and how Latin is at the root of so many modern words today.
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.
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 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.
