Germanic/Tribal Roots

Hello!

Again, I hope you all enjoyed our last session, I'm very happy with our group and how we chat, but I think next week I will have to be more strict with the time. The problem is I think speaking (and writing!) is one of the best ways to really maintain/improve a language, sometimes I let this opinion get the better of me!

Anyway, I found this link which explains quite well the differences of Germanic English (used more for speaking and therefore more prone to changes and alterations) and more formal (Latin) English.

  4. I found Paula Meara's article on 'English Vocabulary' extremely interesting and exciting. Paula succeds to put in a comprehensive professional way something that I've been thinking from my limited experience in English only as a sort of blured fainted intuition. Thanks Felicity. I really appreciate this paper.
