BrainKing - Diskusjonsforum (Languages)

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

Emne: Re:

Reza: What I am saying is that in America, if you wanted to say that you are a teacher from Italy, you would never say "I am an Italian teacher". We would not have to worry about putting the accent on one word or another to change the meaning of what we are saying. We would simply state it differently.... "I am an Italian teacher" always means that you teach the Italian language, never that you are a teacher from Italy. If you wanted to say you are a teacher from Italy, you would say it different than "I am an Italian teacher".
