Etymology 101: The Origin of Words - Starts Feb. 11

Learn etymology, the fascinating study of words, their evolution, and how they change in unexpected ways!

Learning vocabulary/word history with Latin, Greek, general Indo-European etymology. Learning etymology and where words come from, as well as how to build English vocabulary though Latin/Greek and other Indo-European languages. This is as much to teach the methods of my curiosity with languages as it is to share common etymologies or roots; to develop a system in which one remembers to pay attention to their daily vocabulary and watch it change over time though the more common etymology resources or just common dictionaries. Perhaps going very far back to the oldest Indo-European roots to bind a surprising number of seemingly unrelated or conceptually-different words.

ABOUT DANE LEMBERGER

Dane has created a system of lifelong, systematic digestion of information. He wishes to hear the subjects he tutors explained through many different voices, so that he may select the ideal method for each student. Likewise, he desires to see the approach of as many students as possible to compile a nuanced portfolio of the most common struggles.

Creativity and optimism are the qualities he most values in an instructor. He has won local and national awards in Latin and inorganic chemistry, and enjoyed surprising his college instructors with enthusiastic monologues on the molecules he found the most fascinating.
