Actually.... there's a package out there called, I think, English from the Roots up. It's flashcards with Greek and Latin root words on one side, and their meaning and common English words on the other side. They're really great, since you can learn what words really mean, not just what they're used for, and since learning the root can help you identify the meaning of other words later. Studying roots on my own in middle school helped me develop my English skills. My 9 year old brother does the roots flashcards all the time and enjoys them. You might look at something like that for your guys, before they try to start conjugating words.

I already explain a lot of words to him...based on my medical terminology.

Tonight, we were driving home from checking out Krispy Kreme and we drove by a weedy wheat field. He said "Would you look at those tares?"
