How to understand new English vocabulary by learning roots!

[@martymitch8375]

Actually, poly-/poli- means "many, a lot of...". Great lesson as usual, Ms Joddle.

[@learningtogethershare-succ5305]

Well done teacher ! Love your work.One of the best teacher teaching english online.Thanks

[@WoongKim0830712]

It's a awesome lecture for getting a deeper understanding into words. thanks.

[@yahirmm9075]

. I just wanted to say that I adore the way you teach, it is clear interesting and we, as no native speakers, learn something new every day .

[@ihh245]

Hi Jade, I just found your videos at random. I just watched and it made me think of my past. I learned on my own for years before coming to the UK. If I found your videos years ago, I would be the happiest student. Anyway, you are doing a great job and good luck x

[@sayedalihashim1568]

I think poly means (multi) more than one. thank you jade. lovely to see again😊

[@HSM84]

Thanks for a nice lesson, Jade! Welcome back. It's been quite a whikr since your last lesson.

[@emanoelpereira1844]

Getting knowledgeable enough about these Greek prefixes and suffixes can come in pretty handy sometimes. This lesson reminded me of some and the “poly” and “tele” parts were so much fun. Bye the way, teleporting would be a blessing to break through the cacophony issue I have to deal with here in Brazil whenever I needed to.

[@huihuijiao2055]

You are the best teacher I have met, beautiful and warm, very good teach! Thanks a lot! All best!

[@ahmedkhalil5008]

Nice lesson Jade , did you know there are a plenty of English words came from Arabic language ? Examples : - cut from the word قطع pronounced "kata" -Jar from the word جرة pronounced "gara" -tail from the word ذيل pronounced "zail" -paradise from the word فردوس pronounced "varados" -house from the word حوش pronounced "hosh" And many of them 😃

@English Jade • Learn English with engVid Dear Jade, thank you so much for this dedicated lesson of yours. One couldn't be happier! Keep up your amazing magnum opus, best wishes, 🦋 M.

[@phuonglan2667]

Thanks Jade for this informative lesson. I really fancy the Brits and British accents. Eventually, I found you and your amazing videos there

[@solraxlool8870]

I've searched a lot of courses of English, and I think this one is the right one, I think my English level is comprehensible xD, thank u so much and I want to learn a lot of things stop being shy and start up to speak.

[@musictrance7013]

one more thing Jade i forgt to say you 've got a fabulous acent you are killing with your lovely voice.

[@ororio2422]

Hi Jade! You are doing a great job. I truly enjoy your educational videos. The way you explain the grammar has helped to improve my communicative skills and to interpret myself confidently. I would like to share with you that POLY means LOT, many, various, it refers to the category of polymers when Poly many and Mers parts. This definition gives you a clearer insight. Thank you for the lessons and keep teaching us how to speak impeccable. Keep the spirit!!!

[@agniafox]

very specific words, I wish there were more such brilliant lessons on KZbin. Thanks

[@pablis717]

I'm so happy that you are back! Chin Up! love u

[@มนัสเพลาขํา]

Thank you teacher Jade your teaching so great excited to me

[@newliam5]

great job as usual, i would find very helpful if you made a similar video for the most used anglosaxon roots

[@zayana7619]

Hi Jade. I am a 21yo Italian native speaker and I have moved in the UK 2 years ago. I came across your KZbin channel and I find your videos really helpful to practise my English as I have literally started watching them every day! I had a quick question for you. I have been thinking to buy your accent training pack but I am not sure if that will help me to reduce my Italian/British accent? I work/study during the week so I am constantly surrounded by an English-speaking environment. The problem I have is that as soon as I get home I tend to speak in my native language with my family. My listening is really good and I don't have problems to understand people. However, I am really keen to improve my speaking skills and increase my overall confidence when speaking in public.What would be the easiest way to reduce my Italian accent and gain a more natural British accent? Thanks in advance. :)

[@leekeelidq1531]

Beautiful and nice English teacher! Move on and share more with us. Expecting...

[@joyceslp]

I used to have a condition called "Tenosynovitis". It is a kind of tendon inflammation around the joint part of the thumb and the wrist.

[@imanfara3205]

@English Jade... I'm really fond of your videos and the way you teach. The only mystery which I haven't solved yet is the brummie accent. I enjoy learning languages but I also prefer to know more about the accents and how to be able to "fake them". However, the brummie accent is a mystery to me. I'd be very grateful to get some kind of an explanation about that accent :)

[@casualgamers6020]

Jade, I think that's fantastic teaching. I teach in Barcelona.

[@sandokanfirst2]

Dear Jade, thanks for your excellent lessons! Authority without the arrogance. Or something like that. One small remark: in Greek words ending on -ma those letters are part of the stem. So rarely will you find a compound with -o. So no dermo + x, but just derma + tology. Just as in (ma)thematic, rheumatology. It's a different situation from psyche e.g., where the 'e' is not part of the stem.

[@Moreiramoreirinha]

Very usefull lessons, thank you so much teacher Jade !

[@aurorealcaraz2824]

I agree with Gabor. Thanks for your videos and the website which is excellent; I'm just discovering it. We have the same Greek roots for some French words, and POLY doesn't mean string but several.

[@vesalahmed]

I am new learner of English and I hope your lessons will improve me.

[@englishforyou2527]

vesal ahmed i teach English . The students pay for each lesson only 3 dollars.

[@vesalahmed]

how to pay?

[@kostis1100]

just as a remark : cacophony is made out from caco (κακό=bad) and phony (φωνή-voice). Cleptomania comes out from clepto (κλέφτης-thief) and mania (μανία-mania,obsession). Poly (πολύ-much,many) Microcosm (micro,μικρό-small, as you said and cosm-κόσμος--world,universe)

[@fifidesu4053]

Really like your lesson❤ Hope to see you soon

[@antoniodelima2066]

I enjoyed the way you ended and left the place in the video.

[@ManpreetKaur-zj2bt]

Thanks for sharing the video. It's really informative.

[@gelomelo3426]

amazing . it was a great lesson and very scientific and you did it awesome. also you are so lovely

[@elielet1]

Poly also means very much for example; very good video=πολύ καλό video Greetings from a Greek student!!

[@wjld]

elielet1 . Wow, that's cool. You there still use these prefixes and suffixes?

[@paulwilson7144]

Another excellent lesson. Thank you! The only complaint is the videos are far between.

[@smukgabor]

Thank you for sharing, I enjoy your videos very much :) Are you sure that "poly" refers to a string? My understanding was that it simply means "many". :)

[@AndrewGorny]

Gábor Smuk yes it means many she is wrong.

[@brongonj6648]

Thank you , I found it useful.

[@andersonalejandroalbacubil4066]

would you teach us about the combination of to + ing verbs?... i still dont understand when and how to use them

super cute teacher of english.

[@AABlack-cn4yf]

Hey Jade, I never commented on your videos (both channels) but I´d like to say to you that you are doing a great job. And as a request... have you ever considered making a video on the different uses of "just"? I don´t mean the usual ones... I´m not very sure of this because I can´t recall examples of what I mean but sometimes I get the feeling that I don´t understand what it exactly conveys. May be... for example when you say "I just didn´t see you" or "it´s just you vs it´s only you" or "it´s just here vs it´s right here"-.. I really can´t think of the ones that I really don´t understand probably just because of that.. Thank you !

[@StevenSBC020310]

Thanks for sharing your video clip, it's very helpful!

thanks, a lot ma'am, I really liked it.

[@docdoc7949]

By the way.. Your videos are great!!!

[@IsilbrandoSciarconazzi]

In almost all European languages we have a lot of words coming from ancient Greek. Especially, as you say, for what concerns medical terms. Cheers! :-)

[@TheFastRuner]

How nice and good teacher! :D

[@bluv9921]

thank you, love your work

Did you say anthropomorphersize at 6:00. Shouldn't it be anthropomorphize?

[@carlodefilippi6914]

If I may suggest: you could do a video about the deep impact of Latin on modern English thought, they say, words of Latin origin are up to 50% if one syllable and even 90% if multi syllable. Bye!

[@MUSTAFA-he8ij]

[@Taichientaoyin]

how is that accent called? i love the British accent.

[@justabitofjunkie]

She has an Estuary accent.

[@Taichientaoyin]

Just a bit of Junkie thank you. Accent of London, Essex, Kent. I like that of BBC.

[@justabitofjunkie]

Taichientaoyin Np. An Estuary accent is probably the most common accent in those areas, but there's also others, especially in London. Estuary accent is sort of between a London Cockney accent and Received Pronunciation accent (BBC). London also has a "London youth accent", which is horrible in my opinion and filled with slang vocabulary. There's also a trashy Essex accent, but not many people speak with it, but to other native speakers it sounds uneducated and dumb.

[@Taichientaoyin]

Just a bit of Junkie Thank you so much for all this information. :)

[@huraibi]

Really it's an outstanding tutorial , you broke my confusion about some important points, by the way you're so cute, how to focus on the lesson with this kind of beauty hahaha.

[@ImaginaryMdA]

I do think poly actually quite literally means many, rather than a string of things. I mean, I guess the difference is relatively small, but in some cases the latter just doesn't really seem to make sense.

[@lalune9938]

can you give me some advice about how to choose dictionary app on the phone and it would be great if you could suggest me several dictionary . Some dic write this way some write that way, I don't know which is correct , qualified and standard :((( .Thank you !

For us, brasilians or latins, this subject is very easy.

I thought the same, this is very basic.

[@DerEchteBold]

I'd say for every half-decent educated person, native to any European language, this subject should be quite easy ; )

[@jrrs4971]

I agree with you...I'm brazilian as well and I don't have many problems with these words

[@prashantboos8914]

Very nice

[@silvio01stefano]

Hi Jade, great video just a small remark. All of this "greek" words are actually latin (or correlated with/from modern latin).

[@MeTheRob]

Look in an etymological (another Greek word) dictionary. All the medical terms discussed here come from Greek roots, except mania, which is a Latin word deriving from Greek. So do all the others : tele, phone, graphy, ology, micro, kilo, metre, gram, geo etc etc. The only other Latin words I heard were the amor (love) part of polyamorous, and the port part of teleport, from portare - to carry.

[@silvio01stefano]

"Word Origin and History for derma n. "skin beneath the epidermis," 1706, from Modern Latin derma, from Greek derma (genitive dermatos) "skin," from PIE root *der- "to split, peel, flay" (see tear (v.))." www.dictionary.com/# You and Jade are right, the words have "roots" from Greek origin but are not entirely Greek words, these words are Greek (many of these via Latin). It not "fair" to say the words are Greek. Don't forget that all, (or in grand part) the medical/species etc vocabulary have a latin denomination due to best spread language at the time. www.ruf.rice.edu/~kemmer/Words04/structure/borrowed.html

[@riccio24]

Even through Latin, they come from Greek, anyway.

[@hassanechetouane1092]

Oh Jade, I ignored you had an amazing talent of a physician. Hippocrates is proud of you. If your patient has a hematoma which is a collection of blood and not a bruise you must remove it surgically; If you will not do it and it is in the brain, this last will have a little chance to be here for the spring. Oh, I will go on with reading poesy (Robert Frost). When the wind works against us in the dark, And pelts with snow ..............
