This book picks the key Latin and Greek words that form many of the core words used in the English language. (There is quite a bit more Latin than Greek.) If you learn these key words, you'll gain a very good basis for learning Latin and a better understanding of English. It also lists words that could be confused with each particular word origin group. If you're into the history or evolution of words, then this can be a very interesting and entertaining book.
I got this for a friend that studies word origins as a hobby. He is able to get more derivations of those words that originated in Greek and Latin than from regular dictionaries.
