Research: On the origin of words

Yesterday I asked you some questions that I told you to research. I would like to elaborate on these questions:

Why are there words in English that resemble French words?

How many words from French origin are there in the English language?

Why are there words in English that resemble Spanish words?

How many words from Latin origin are there in the English language?

TOPIC: 1 FAMILY AND FRIENDS

TOPIC 0: FREE TIME

The topic we have been working with has to do with free time. I post here the video we saw previously for you to do a bit of listening!

Listen also to this person talking about what he likes doing in his free time. How many activities can you mention?

September 26th: EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES

Yesterday was the European Day of Languages. I would like you to reflect on the importance of learning different languages (not just English) in class. I will ask you, and you may have to do a project. In the meantime, I would like you to have a look at these videos!

Research:

How many languages are spoken in the world?

The role of the teacher!

As a start off, I would like to remind you of the role of the teacher, nowadays!

How many words in the video didn´t you know? Put them on the comments box and share them with the rest of the class.
