Like many languages, English words can be broken down into parts; each part has its own meaning, contributing to the overall meaning of the word itself. Understanding how each word is put together with “parts” helps a learner remember English words easier.

这个系列特别适合学习英语单词的人。像许多语言一样,英语单词可以分解成不同组合部分; 每个部分都有着自己的含义,然后合起来组成这个词的整体意义。了解每个单词如何通过这些“部分”组合在一起有助于学生更容易记住每个英语单词。
