Learning Greek/English Vocabulary
Posted: March 29th, 2016, 8:27 am
I have been asked by a father to help his 11-year-old son learn to spell better. He is in high level Spelling Bee Contests. The dad wants his son to learn Greek roots/stems/words so he can figure out how to spell words in English that are of Greek origin. I have Bruce Metzger's Lexical Aids for Students of NT Greek. He has quite a few roots with their meanings, and then he gives Greek examples. However, I am looking for English examples. I am thinking that I want to relate Greek roots/stems/words to examples in English. For example, I am looking for Greek to English words so I can help him spell better, such as when he is asked: How do you spell pericardium? He will have learned περι means around, καρδια means heart.
