Why is English full of Latin? | LATIN WORDS

Episode 99 Published 2Β months ago
Description

You speak more Latin than you think. Not only are the many French words in English derived from Latin, but almost 30% of our vocabulary comes directly from the language of the Romans. In this episode, Rob and Jess explore how those words got there, what they literally mean, and whether we are using them correctly.
