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).
