Images is a mnemonic method for learning English vocabulary by connecting the pictured Latin roots of English words to the present day definitions. A centuries old root stands for a simple object or action, which visualized, opens up a better understanding of a word. As one root belongs to the other interconnected linguistic family members, just one root is a catalyst to exponential growth in vocabulary. Exercises throughout Images reinforce the link between roots and word definitions. Images introduces students to the Latinate level of English essential in the professions, instrumental in the sciences, and useful in history and literature. This level the invading Norman French - descendants of Roman Gaul - forced upon the Anglo Saxon Britons after the Norman Conquest at Hastings in 1066. Since then the Anglo Saxons - and today's students of English - have had to come to terms with the imposed Latinate upper strata. Other Latin inheritors are today's Italians, Portuguese, and Spanish. Images reacquaints them with their own heritage that reverberates in English and that facilitates learning English vocabulary. Images Introduction is part of the Series Building English Vocabulary with Etymology from Latin.

Etymology is the study of word origins and development. It provides one of the easiest and most effective ways to build vocabulary, because knowledge of some common roots and prefixes makes possible the figuring out of new word meanings. English is compounded of several languages, primarily Anglo-Saxon (Germanic) and Latin. Historically, the Angles and Saxon tribes occupied Britain after expelling the Celts to Ireland. Beginning in the first century BCE, Julius Caesar's legions conquered and occupied Britain, and Roman troops remained until the fifth century. Their Latin influence persists notably in the names of English cities ending in "-caster" or "-chester," from the Latin "castra" meaning "encampment." This series of books focuses then on etymology from Latin and Greek. The texts are designed to aid in learning the definitions of specific, deconstructed words.

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.
