Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When an object catches our eye, we want to know it and name it, and when we seek to know a word's meaning, we try to get the picture. Whether first we see and then name, or vice versa, the image behind a word helps us learn vocabulary. An effective way to master a challenging word in English is to see the image of the word in its Classical root, a three thousand year old picture that still speaks to us today, vibrant and simple in its original Latin family. IMAGES takes the student back to the root's simple meaning, its home, it's family and the multiple and varied members of the family. Through IMAGES a student can watch his English vocabulary grow and realize that a picture is worth a thousand words.
