<p>I am an International student. Often when I read American books or newspapers, I encounter vocab which look like French or Latin. So I want to know how I can solve this problem? It there any book or college course you want to recommend?</p>
<p>Some schools have English language center that offer courses to help you master the language like University of Denver</p>
<p>cornworm,</p>
<p>English is a Germanic language, but most of our vocabulary comes from French or Latin. Therefore, the only way to resolve this problem is to read more.</p>
<p>Keep a small English dictionary with you when you read. These often include the French or Latin phrases that have become common in the English language.</p>
<p>Are you talking about words that look French or Latin or words that actually are French or Latin? If it’s the former, you just need to read more to learn the vocab.</p>
<p>However, if you’re seeing phrases like… “et cetera,” “lieu,” “bon appetite” you might want to consult some literature about common foreign phrases used in english.</p>
<p>Adios.</p>
