(Second chance) Learning express Library- course 2

Vocabulary and spelling courses 2 : roots, prefixes and suffixes.

1. Interest level:

I think this subject was interesting because we talked a bit about this prefixes ans suffixes in class and I wanted to go further in this subject. This lesson shows how to understand unfamiliar or complicated words by analysing their structure.

2. Difficulty

The words were very complicated so it was pretty hard. I had a lot of difficulty to understand the meaning of the words when they were not in context. I noticed that I did some mistakes because some words look like French words but they don't have the same meaning at all. The easiest part was "Prefixes that change meaning" because I was able to deduce the meaning with my prior knowledge.

3. What I learned (3 points)

-I learned trategies to learn new words with their sound, prefixes or suffixes.

-I also learned a lot of vocabulary :"impediment" means "hindrance"

-"conspicuous" means "evident"

-"hindsight" means "retrospect"

-"illegible" means "unreadable"

4.My score

My score is 73%. I think this result is too high. I got a lot of good answer because I was most of the time lucky in the first part of the course.

5.Course rating

This course was interesting from the beginning to the end. I rate this lesson 8,5/10 because I think it was sometimes discouraging to face 15 new words and try to do the exercises without dictionnary. Even though, I improved my vocabulary a lot so I would recommand it.
