INDEX

If you look at a word and know its etymology,
I see the meaning

When studying English, one thing you can't miss is memorizing vocabulary.
However, if you know the etymology of English words, you can naturally know dozens of times more words than if you just memorize them.
This is the 'etymology learning method' where you understand the etymology of a word and apply it to other words.
Studying English through its etymology has three irresistible advantages.


First, memory lasts a long time.
Second, you can infer the meaning of words you don't know.
Third, you can learn words systematically and efficiently.

If you know the meaning of the elements that make up English words (prefixes, roots, and suffixes), you can easily infer the meaning of words you see for the first time and they will stay in your memory for a long time.
Above all, the learning efficiency is significantly increased compared to the time invested.
This book analyzes the etymology of words for busy modern people and introduces words that share the same central etymology.


Fun illustrations and various examples
And it even provides MP3 audio sources

We provide a special audio recording of all the words, derivatives, and example sentences included in this book.
It is convenient because you can review or memorize the words and examples you have learned using audio.
When you listen to audio, you will remember it better if you say the words and examples out loud.
If you memorize using an association method that stimulates both the left and right brain, along with illustrations, the learning efficiency will be further increased.
