Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes provide the key to unlocking the meanings ofthese'words. In addition,'the* inflected nature of the Latin language affordspupils the opportunity to acquire a linguistic perspective that ishelpful in learning English. eThis guide also is designedto familiarize pupils with aspects of classical culture and its impact;---tointroduce orally somebasic Latin; in and.to stimulate interest inthe study of languages and the Humanities general.
