Description

English word histories and English root words help you to learn new and unusual words! English word histories also help you understand words you already know in a new, fresh way.
In Episode #34, Tim takes a deep look at a single Proto-Indo-European root, BL, which is found in words like BALL, BELLY, BALLOON and BELLOWS. Proto-Indo-European (PIE) was a language first spoken around 6500 years before present in what is now Ukraine. Learning many words with the same root helps you make connections between words so you remember them better.
