In working as an ASVAB tutor, I remind my students of the importance of studying Latin and Greek roots words.  When I meet students that speak one of the Latin languages have an advantage in understanding vocabulary words.  Many words in English come from Latin.  The English language is not considered a Latin language even though it has Latin influences.  English is a Germanic language.  Do you know which language is a Latin language from today’s choices? Portuguese? Russian? Swedish? Polish?  I will share the answer and explanation tomorrow.
