Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.


To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages

Thema: shade vs shadow
What sounds better to the ear of a native speaker of the English language?

"in the shade of the tree" or "in the shadow of the tree"

Bwild: These are great examples. I suppose the usage is the key to it, eh? I took the hard way to show it! :)
