Description

👆Learn root words to make surprising connections between words and remember advanced vocabulary better!
Did you know that English contains traces of a prehistoric language first spoken 6000 years ago?
Linguists call this language Indo-European because its daughter languages are spoken in Europe (for example, Spanish, German and Ukrainian) as well as in South Aisa (for instance Hindi and Bengali).
Listen to Episode 136 to explore nine words that all share a piece of ancient Indo-European history: the root BL, found in English words like BLOND and ALBINO, and also in foreign words like Spanish "blanco" and German "bleich".
