There are few people in the world who know as much about where words come from as Mark Forsyth. His first book, The Etymologicon, was a journey through the origins of many common words and their connections, and he has since written various other books about words, language, and writing.
In this interview Mark tells fascinating and entertaining stories about where words come from, how to remember them, and how to use those words to be a better communicator.

Having read most of his books and I can say this man is soooo fascinating😉😉 The “buffalo” sentence is also in his book “Etymologicon”，funny！

Thanks for this interview. The voice of him has a sound which doesn’t let understand very well.

It was a challenge to understand his accent. Teacher's accent and speed is a gift for us, but a real conversation like this make our listening skills to improve, doesn't it?
