BrainKing - Discussion boards (Languages)

Languages

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

Subject: Re:

رضا: This kind of question can be most easily answered by the native speakers. I would say that:
Trip is interchangeable with journey, voyage is a journey to some very distant place taking lots of time, travel is the act of travelling - it's more general term encompassing the other four, and excursion is a short journey.
