English Words from Latin and Greek Elements

Summary: Nice Book!!
Review: I found what I have been looking for! A book who extends your English vocabulary systematically. I strongly recommend this book particularly for English learners. (I'm from Turkey)

With carefully chosen chapters and exercises, I'm sure you will learn a lot of things about Latin and Greek words in English. I memorized many difficult English words with the help of this book. I want to thank to the authors.

Very good book! I read it three times!

Summary: Useful information - but not usefully presented.
Review: I have had such a great success with "Greek and Latin Roots in Everyday Language" published by the Perfection Form Company (not carried by Amazon) and I was looking for something more to supplement my teaching with. Although the information contained in "English Words - From Latin and Greek Elements" is of a high quality, and of the sort that my students would benefit from, the arrangement of the information was not. I have found that the typical student learns best when the directions are clearly and artistically arranaged. The teacher should only have to explain the self-explainitory, in order to help the students that don't understand the self-explainitory, and have the information presented in an enticing way. If there was a committee to revise this book I would love to be on it. I suggest the inventors, two or three practicing teachers, some students, and an artist or two.

Summary: A tremendous asset to teachers and students
Review: This is the book of choice for use in my classroom. Students find it easy to use and understand. For my purposes, I find the book to be logically arranged and clearly written. It is very accessible, and I encourage students, teachers, and philologists alike to use it.
