- Reflect on how knowing a language's history can help you learn the language.
When you know a language’s history you will be able to understand where some of the words roots come from and how they have stemmed from other languages. Each language carries with it all of the history and culture of the area that it arises from. The political, social and economic history of the country influence its vocabulary and the meaning of its words. By knowing the history of words, I can understand how they are put together, and therefore better understand what they mean.
