숨겨진 역사: 그리스인, 로마인, 바이킹이 언어를 형성한 방법

Does your learner love uncovering the hidden stories behind everyday words? Or are they curious about how the past shapes the way we speak today? In this class, they’re not just students—they’re linguistic detectives, unraveling the fascinating origins of language.

From the Norse myths that gave us words like “berserk” to Roman gods who named our days of the week, learners will dive deep into the rich histories of ancient cultures. They’ll explore how Viking explorers, Roman strategists, and Greek philosophers shaped expressions we use every day, like “your ears are burning” or even the term “Bluetooth.”

Through engaging storytelling and interactive activities, learners will:
-Decode the Roman calendar and discover how celestial bodies and deities influenced our days and months.
-Trace the evolution of idioms and slang, peeling back layers of time to reveal their ancient origins.
-Examine how Germanic tribes adapted Roman culture, reshaping the English language into what we know today.

And because learning should be fun, we’ll wrap up with a lively Kahoot competition, where learners can test their knowledge in a dynamic, game-like format that builds camaraderie and reinforces lessons.

This isn’t just a history or language class—it’s a journey into the heart of how we communicate, blending history, culture, and linguistics into an unforgettable experience.

*Heads-Up: This Class is NOT a Spectator Sport!
This isn’t your typical sit-back-and-zone-out history class—your learner is part of the action! Whether we’re diving into simulations, debates, or critical-thinking challenges, their participation is what makes this class engaging, exciting, and, well… not just another lecture!

That said, if participation turns into radio silence, we’ll have to shift into a lecture-style format to ensure all key material is covered. But let’s be real—that’s way less fun.

So, encourage your learner to jump in, share their thoughts, make decisions, and engage! The more they put into this experience, the more they'll get out of it (and the less likely we are to drift into Lecture Land).

**Another Heads-Up: Punctuality Matters! 
This class runs on engagement and interaction, so arriving on time is key! While late arrivals are always welcome to jump in, we won’t be able to restart simulations or backtrack on missed activities—there’s just too much to cover.

To get the most out of the experience (and avoid feeling lost mid-simulation), being on time is strongly encouraged. Help your learner hit the ground running from the start—it makes for a smoother, more immersive class for everyone!
