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

Pedro Martínez: I always greatly prefer to use or hear "in the shade of the tree"....yes, the "shadow of the tree" caused the shade but just doesn't sound like something I've ever heard or used...

awesome: I'm with "awesome" on this. I think of shade as a collection of shadows or as something used to get out of the sun. A shadow caused by a light or the moon is a little different. A shadow to me is primarily about the thing causing it. Also, a shadow is something that isn't normally thought for using as shade. When a shadow is used for shade it is often a temporary or unusual event. As using a tractor-trailer rig's shadow on the freeway to shade your vehicle or when someone happens to block the sun with their shadow giving you some shade.

awesome, Walter Montego: Thank you so much for your inputs. I was unsure about the use of the two words; in Czech there is only one expression for both of them. It's much clearer now.
