Greek Words in the English Language

Having studied ancient Greek and Latin as a young man, while growing up in Greece, the author learned to analyze the Greek language. This eventually led him to the “eureka” idea of creating the present volume. With over 4,000 Greek words to be found in the English language, the English-speaking reader is encouraged to take advantage of those similarities in order to easily learn to speak Greek. And for Greek speakers, it will help to increase their English vocabulary. Understanding Greek words and their roots can help in learning other languages as well. For example, in Greek one says ‘democratia;’ in English, ‘democracy;’ in French, ‘democratie;’ and in Spanish, ‘democracia.’ Every Greek person should own this book! Feel the pride, and enjoy.
