US State Department Creates Illustrations Depicting Differences Between British And American English
People in America and the UK both speak English, and while most words remain the same there are a few differences that could potentially create a misunderstanding. To help English speakers from all over the world better communicate, the US State Department created these useful illustrations that highlight key differences between British and American English. English originated as early as the mid-5th century, and has since been brought to a number of countries. Over the years many changes and adaptations have taken place, creating unique discrepancies in the English language all around the world. Here are some of the main differences between British and American English, we bet you find at least a few that truly surprise you! 1. americanenglish.state.gov 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14.
How to Learn English Words
Learn English words quickly and easily with these tips and resources. We all know we must learn English words—and lots of them—to speak the language well. A native English speaker knows approximately 12,000 to 20,000 words according to experts. Mother tongue English speakers learn these words over a lifetime of informal daily life and in formal schooling. There are anywhere from 450,000 to one million English words depending on whether you count words separately (e.g., sit, sitting, sat, sitter) or as part of a word family (e.g., sit). We also learn words as part of idiomatic phrases (a set group of words that together have a meaning that's different than the separate words. e.g, sitting on top of the world). So how does someone learning English as a second language know where to begin? Before we look at which words to learn and how to learn them, please note that this website includes many vocabulary word lists and lessons as you can see below.

Ten ways to learn new words as a language learner
Teacher and teacher trainer Svetlana Kandybovich, our latest TeachingEnglish blog award winner, shares her top tips for remembering new words. As a language learner, you work hard to expand your vocabulary. You plough through new words every day, make long lists of words and practise with flashcards. Remembering and using new words in speech is often a challenge for language learners. 1. We remember what is relevant to us. Tip: The British Council LearnEnglish website features tons of interactive videos, games and podcasts. 2. We retain words better when we learn them in small ‘chunks’ (i.e. small phrases that combine several words) and ‘scripts’ (i.e. typical dialogues). Tip: If you are into learning with video, TV and films, try FluentU. 3. Learning is essentially an internal process. Tip: On Forvo, you can listen to native and non-native speakers from different parts of the world pronouncing different words and phrases. 4. 5. Here are a few mnemonics created by my students: 6. 7. 8.
Game Word Generator - The Game Gal
When I was putting together this site of games, I discovered that my printable word lists became very popular. I had word lists for pictionary, charades, and other games, and visitors seemed to really like them! So I got to thinking, what’s one step better than a printable list of words for playing pictionary? An online word generator! Here I’ve taken all the words on my printables, plus hundreds more, and combined them into different categories for playing games like pictionary, catchphrase, charades, or any other game you want. Here’s how it works: First, select a Game (the game menu also includes a Holiday option). My amazing husband also made an iPhone app with all the same content. Finally, I love feedback!
