 LanguagesAsk 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.

Septiembre 2019, 17:43:14 Asunto: Re: English Heard that in a quiz once. The answer they gave was that originally pants referred to fabric wrapped separately on each leg then wrapped or tied at the waist. Saying that trousers were from a Welsh word meaning tight shorts of some kind lol Then you could mention tweezers, scissors or pliers. Let's face it English isn't the most straightforward of languages! :) 15. Septiembre 2019, 17:47:57 Asunto: Re: English  Nice works: Is that why we drive on the parkway, and park on the drive way?
