British /American English 

What are the differences between British English and American English? There are many British words which are different from American ones. You have studied that "elevator" is a "lift" in British English. Lisa and Sofia Efthymiou, an American mum and daughter, have listed the differences between British and American words in this website. They  have arranged the words in categories to make viewing easier for school work.

Do you want to chat?

Hello everybody:

Some teachers complain about the bad influence of chat language. They say chat language is a bad influence because teens use abbreviations, smileys or acronyms instead of writing full words  :(

Using chat language in text messages and chat sessions is OK, but it is not when you are writing for school, university or a formal e-mail.

Let's check how familiar you are with English chat language. 

Activity one: Type a message and then select English to lingo and then click on "transl8it"  Click HERE and have fun!

Activity two : Your teacher will dictate you a message. Type it  and then select English to lingo and then click on "transl8it"

Activity three: Take a pen and a sheet of paper. Watch the following slide show (It may take some seconds to download). Read the instructions below carefully.

Stop at slide 3, read it carefully and try to turn the "chat language" lyrics into a normal version on a sheet of paper. Then you can check your version with the lyrics in slide for. (Idem slide 5 and 6; 7 and 8, 9 and 10 , etc.)
