Note Making An excellent skill to learn! Helps you pay attention in class and remember what you have learned. It also provides a place to easily find information you want to remember. Your notes are a letter that you write to yourself to remind you what you need to know. Be sure to read the letter a couple of times to be sure you know your stuff.

Sample Paragraph English is a combination of Roman Latin, Ancient Greek, German, Anglo-Saxon, Spanish, American Indian and other tongues. Even with all of these influences, Latin, the language of ancient Rome, is still the most important source of English words. We will learn about our own English by learning about the Latin remnants inside it. Remnants? Yes. Many of our words are made of two or three fragments of Latin. We sometimes call these pieces prefixes, suffixes, root words (or stems). To make things easy, we call them all stems.

Sample Paragraph Two The stem sub, for example, is part of many English words. Sub means under and we find it in words like submarine, submerge, and subtract. We also find it in harder words, like subterranean, subordinate, substantial, and even subterfuge. Even though words like these seem hard at first, they are not as hard as they look – if you know the Latin stems. Most of what you call ‘big words’ are really not so difficult after all if you know the Latin stems that are in them. Each time you learn one easy stem, you have learned an important part of dozens of English words; so learning Latin stems is power-learning, because you only have to study one small thing in order to learn a part of many things.

Notes I would take Learning Latin is power learning. When you learn the stems, you will know lots of English words, without having to learn them separately. Learning Latin is power learning.
