Steven Schlesser, the editor of Cune magazine, has a copy which he takes along on family outings. As he is driving to the Oregon Coast with his kids he shouts out Greek and Latin roots and his children respond in chorus. One time I sat in on a class that Joegil was giving in Seattle Pacific University for elementary school teachers. Joegil's method was to teach the same material in the same way that she did for her second graders. The class was hard for me.
Second graders are really good at memorizing and learning new stuff.
The thrust of Joegil's teaching was to reveal the consistency and simplicity behind the surface chaos of English. I came away regretting that I had missed her lessons when I was young and devoting time to learning English.
