What they say about Wordsmithery ↓

"I really like studying with Logophilia! The way the sessions were conducted made learning so fadcinating and easy to understand. It has started to change the way I think about words. Now I think to break down unfamiliar words into roots and guess their meanings. It makes learning more logicaL."

"I really liked studying in Logophilia! It changes the way you look at English. It makes learning words easier & more meaningful. I've started enjoying words, and now I notice roots in daily life. Everyone should experience this at least once. Logophilia has made me interested in learning. I feel that this way of learning can help me in all subjects, not just English.”

"The Etymology approach to Vocabulary-learning is perhaps the only way how the study of any subject should be approached. It reduces the need of mindless rote-memorisation. Also, opens up the mind to how to approach new words. Now I will study through roots, & will try to inter-relate words and knowledge."
