Loanwords are words we borrow from other languages, like ‘ski’, or ‘pizza’. This fun quiz features five words each from other languages, can you guess which words come from where?
A fascinating introduction into the origin of words and encouraging a love of language. Students who speak more than one language will recognise that common feeling when you feel the need to borrow form another language to express what you mean! Includes information on the meanings of some of the words and activity ideas to follow up, using the words in context. The presentation is also useful for exploring spelling patterns in loanwords.
Powerpoint and PDF versions provided for flexibility.
Originally created for and used with Year 6 pupils (UK) age 10-11, but fun for older ages, even adult learners!
Includes a slide that can be used interactively and an answer slide.
