*This came from SKILL BUILDER 8*

 a capella- without instrumental accompaniment
ad infinitum- into eternity, endlessly
alma mater- fostering mother school from which a person graduates
amour propre- self respect
au revoir- till we meet again
avant garde- modern
carte blanche- a blank menu; freedom to choose
bona fide- in good faith
et alii(et al.)- and others
et cetera(etc.)- and so forth
exempli gratia(e.g.)-for example
hors d'oevres- appetizer
nom de plume- pen name; a written name other than the real name
status quo- the situation as it is
viva voce- by word of mouth; orraly

I've seen these words many times in some books especially (e.g.) and I don't know the meaning of it till our teacher Ms. Ly taught us. This words will help you understand what your reading when you see those words..:D so try to memorize it..:)

THANKYOU FOR READING:)
