Download or read book An Etymological Dictionary of Modern English Vol 1 written by Ernest Weekley and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The compiler of this dictionary of word and phrase origins and history was not only a linguist and a philologist but also a man of culture and wit. When he turned his attention, therefore, to the creation of an etymological dictionary for both specialists and non-specialists, the result was easily the finest such work ever prepared. Weekley's Dictionary is a work of thorough scholarship. It contains one of the largest lists of words and phrases to be found in any singly etymological dictionary — and considerably more material than in the standard concise edition, with fuller quotes and historical discussions. Included are most of the more common words used in English as well as slang, archaic words, such formulas as "I. O. U.," made-up words (such as Carroll's "Jabberwock"), words coined from proper nouns, and so on. In each case, roots in Anglo-Saxon, Old Norse, Greek or Latin, Old and modern French, Anglo-Indian, etc., are identified; in hundreds of cases, especially odd or amusing listings, earliest known usage is mentioned and sense is indicated in quotations from Dickens, Shakespeare, Chaucer, "Piers Plowman," Defoe, O. Henry, Spenser, Byron, Kipling, and so on, and from contemporary newspapers, translations of the Bible, and dozens of foreign-language authors.

Book excerpt: Hello, 안녕하세요, こんにちは, hallo, 你好！I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, and moved to the United States when I was a teenager. I have traveled to most English spoken countries, if not all; and although I speak five languages (English, Korean, Japanese, German, and Chinese), I came to the conclusion that English is the most important language of all. Without knowing and speaking English, traveling would be very hard, even harsh. I realized that English is the most important language of all because it connects people. I would say it is the most important tool in communication. There is no time like the present to learn English. The world's most widely spoken language permeates many aspects of our daily lives. Internet sites, blockbuster movies, even toothpaste tubes bear English words. But let's be honest, learning to speak English is not easy. Pronunciation, sentence structures, figures of speech, and idioms are just some of the potential headaches for those who are courageous enough to take on English. One might wonder if there is a way to learn American English with minimum hassle. That is exactly why this book was created.Flipping through the pages of this book will reveal the absence of numbered lessons and regimented exercises. In fact, the majority of the text is written in a format similar to a movie script. There is a cast of characters performing the actions of each scene. The two main characters (Diane and Ken) have different personalities and backgrounds, but they are united by the quest to learn English. Both of the characters drive the storyline by making decisions that are based on their learning goals. You have the opportunity to imagine that you are a character in the story. You can decide which parts of the text to read, and the order, in accordance with your own learning goals.Whether you are going on a cruise or heading to a job interview, this book serves as a practical and entertaining guide to conversational American English. You can also use it as a handy reference while traveling abroad. Although the events in the story take place in the United States, the speaking skills you will gain can be used in other English-speaking countries as well.The lines of the characters in the story provide a glimpse into the diversity of dialects and rich vocabulary that American English has to offer. It is a dynamic language that is deeply intertwined with American culture. References to American thought, history, and pop culture enliven the text, making for an enjoyable reading and learning experience. As you make your way through the book, I hope you will come to see, as I have, how wonderful and exhilarating it is to learn English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday English, Vol. 1 The study of English has become the basis of our educational system. From the Kindergarten, through the University, the study of our language and literature is the main element of unity and continuity that binds together the varied discipline of our schools. This has been brought about by changes so rapid that few have fully realized their importance; but every teacher of English has felt both the burden and the opportunity which its preeminence imposes. The teaching of English must give training in the knowledge and use of the language, and of all parts of education surely none can be more fundamental, or practical, or effective in exercising the power to think. It must also open the door not only to English literature, but to the great world of books, to the accumulated culture of the race. While it trains the pupil in efficient use of the mother tongue, it must widen his horizon and render him susceptible to those refinements of feeling and enlargements of sympathy essential to true culture. Nowhere is this double service more important than in the elementary schools. To the union and promotion of both services, Everyday English is dedicated. Book One is built up on a few general principles: 1. Language is primarily oral. 2. Constant practice and review are necessary for skill in language, as in any art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday English comic books are designed as progressive readers for learners of English as a second or foreign language. The books starts out with simple grammatical structures and vocabulary, then gradually build to more complex forms. For example, in Chapter 1 of Book 1, the verb to be, the indefinite article, the words this/that, these/those, and singular and plural nouns are introduced. The situations cover common everyday language skills and competencies such as meeting and introducing people, telling time, asking for directions, describing items, and filling out simple forms. The stories are about a group of people who meet at school and become friends. They are instructors, students, and the caterer. They meet at break time and talk about their families, jobs, shopping, parties, travel and much more.
