Language

Who says Americans and Brits share the same language? British English really is quite different.

British Phraseology star
The very first article I wrote for this site, about British slang terms, is still one of the most popular articles I´ve written on English Culture. So for awhile now, I´ve been thinking I should do a sequel. After all, I hardly covered everything.

BritSpeak star[offsite link]
A glossary that defines English slang and colloquialisms.

Common British Slang Words and Terminology star
Make sure you´re ordering what you really want at restaurants, getting what you really want while shopping, and understanding what those Brits are really saying. This is a brief guide for anyone who wants to brush up on their British lingo before traveling to the UK.

English words and Americanisms! star
English and Americans laugh over words we each use that neither of us understand. What on earth is a Lav? why do Americans use old wooden carts, or do they? Read here to find out!

The American´s Guide to Speaking British star[offsite link]
A hilarious look at common British slang terms.

What is Cockney rhyming slang? star
Ever wondered what cockney rhyming slang is? What on earth do ´plates of meat´ have to do with feet?! What makes a person a cockney? Can anyone just be one? To find out look no further!
