Hello students!

There are many varieties of the English language - from Australian English to British English to different types of English even inside the United States.

This can be confusing because some of the most common vocabulary words are different - for example, people in the United States would say they live in an "apartment" - but people in England would talk about living in a "flat."

In today's lesson, you're going to learn 20 vocabulary differences between British English and American English.
 It's a fun little story about the daily life of New York Nate, who lives in the United States; and London Laura, who lives in England. They have very similar lives... but the vocabulary words they use are very different!

Enjoy the lesson - and e-mail me if you have any questions.
