Varieties of the English language. Differences in Vocabulary

One of the consequences of English being a global language is a number of its variations that differ in vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and spelling (for example, British and American ones). The most famous are the differences in terms and slang some of which are illustrated in this video.


Step-by-step work with the video

1. Match the national flags to the countries. Then watch the video and note down the variations mentioned.

a) the USA; b) Australia; c) the UK; d) Malaysia
