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

If you say: I'm an English teacher.

With the 'English' stressed, then it should mean you teach English, just like a geography teacher who teaches geography.

But if you say: I'm an English teacher.

With the word 'teacher' stressed, then it should mean you're from England. Just like you say an American teacher is from the U.S..
