Lately, I have read two books, Introduction of economy and Word power made easy. Actually, I was not interested in economy and that is not my majoy, but I have to read it because of preparing Korean law school. When I read it again and again, I feel interesting, although sometimes it is quite difficult to understand.
And my second bood, Word power made easy, is a kind of Enlish learning books. It inform about the English word, by etymology. Before I read it, I didn't know the latin, greek which are root of English. I think it is so good because if I know a etymological meaning of one word, I can infer the other word's meaning and recite a lot of English word much easier. My father recommended it to me and I have gotten some help from this book.
Therefore, I read one Korean book and one English book. Sometimes I confused English with Korean so, I can't catch the meaning of English word even though it is easy and I already recite it.

I think that learning etymology is a very good way to improve your English because you are more able to understand and you have more tools to try to guess what a word mean.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, in my opinion you should read one of Stephen King's book which I find just wonderful, if you are interested I can give you book's names which I read and I found especially interesting

Today i forgot to ask you an exact name of your word power book. I actually have one but just finished one chapter but it doesn't focus on etymology ;just list the interesting vocab that you have to know. So I'm looking for the good book about root of English word.
