Hey there! Here comes the time once of the week for our club's schedule. And of course, we are stumbling on the English Club's project (drum roll)--podcastingg! Last week, we've been conducted to build an outline for our podcast. It can be anything: school activity, favorite movies or songs, tips and tricks, also daily chit-chat. Any ideas are validated here.
This podcast program encourages students to speak and deliver their ideas. They can also improve their performance by doing some evaluations after it finished. This teaches students it's okay to not become perfect because one mistake appears, means one more chance to grow!
The library became full of the witness of today's activity. We pull out the sofas to the corner, setting up the camera, while the fellow are loud preparing for their turn. Such a warm day to live-in!
English corner segment!
Do you know? English Has Borrowed Heavily from Other Languages
English is a melting pot of languages, with around 60% of its vocabulary derived from Latin and French. It has borrowed words from more than 350 languages, including common ones like "safari" (Swahili), "pyjama" (Hindi), and "robot" (Czech).
Several reasons why this could happen is that English included as one of the Germanic languages. These developed from an unrecorded language known as proto-Germanic, which was spoken by people often referred to under the collective cover term of the 'Germani'. At roughly the time when ancient Greece was at its cultural peak and when Rome was becoming an important power in Italy, the Germani were probably living mainly in southern Scandinavia and in parts of northern Germany. This situation probably gave rise to some very early loanwords. (Durkin, Phillip. 2014. Borrowed Word: A History of Loanword in English)
