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

Is there any difference between a movie's being set in China and it's taking place in China?

If it had said the 'movie set' is in china
then it would have a different meaning..

but being set in means the same as taking place in china

The story is set in or taking place in China
