At the very end of the conversation class on Tuesday, we talked about word roots. I've tracked down a few resources you can use to get comfortable with them.
The first is a series of worksheets about just a few roots. There are many useful words involved.
The second is a game for kids, but it's interactive and that is very good for memorization!
The third is just a list of many roots.
This page has some flashcards and matching games to practice the roots from the third link.
The final link is to the BBC's English-learning page. There are a few different sections that you might find useful, but I recommend the root words page to start.
Have fun!
And here's a funny little video that tells you why English has so many kinds of word roots!
