Foreign Words, Jayden

The Red SPLT group have been learning about languages and how english has stolen so many words off a variety of different countries. Pretty much english is a thief language!!! For example:

French Words


Alot of French words end in ''et'' and are pronounced ''it'' or ''ay'' for example:
Blanket
Gourmet
Douvet
Cricket
Picket
bouquet

Spanish Words


Alot of Spanish words are to do with adventure and explores or foods for example:
Hurricane
Tornado
Tomato
Potatoes
Chocolate
Tobacco

Italian Words


Alot of Italian words are to do with music and the arts or also food for example:
Piano
Opera
Tempo
Violin
Prema Donna
Ballerina
