Episode #85: 1 Ancient Root -> 10 Modern Words

Master English With Tim ·

2024/11/18

Word roots are an awesome (and sadly underused) tool for learning vocabulary. A word root is a group of letters at the beginning of a word that has a certain meaning. For example, several English words include the Germanic root DR- which is connected with drinking or liquid. This shared meaning across several words makes words more interesting and it makes their meanings easier to learn.If you're curious about word roots, then don't forget to listen to episodes 15, 19, 34, and 45.Photo credit: Dan
