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 particular difference between "in the end" and "at the end" ?

Asunto: Re:

King Reza: I'd say "at the end" is more fisical, means location:

at the end of the corridor there was a door
I'm at the end of the line to buy tickets
</ul>
"in the end" refers to time or objective, not location:
- In the end there can be only one
- All was fine in the end
  </ul>
  
  But this is just the opinion of a non-native speaker...
