English Decoded: Layers of the English Language

By Reading Horizons Last updated 2024/05/24

Description

This quick, 2 minute video gives a brief overview of the 3 main layers of the English Language: Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and Greek.  A nice simple video to show students to help them understand that although English is complex, it makes sense, if you understand how they are put together (morphology).
