    In the video they said that a can and a tin were from different dialects,but one of Oxford books was said that a can was for something to drink and a tin was for something to eat.For example,a can of cola and a tin of olives or tomatoes

    I'm currently spending my year in France and I realised is, that I could really have done a lot more back when I had my french classes in Germany. You will get used to the grammatical structure and time forms pretty quickly, but man... the vocabulary part is real torture. I'm currently here for 5 months and I'm honestly on a pretty good level in comparison to others of my agegroup, but I still feel like a damn child when talking to other persons, especially when talking to my teachers on an academic level.

    Lol, she really seems to be excited about speaking english and to imitate the accent and all, but if you consider to go into another country then you should note that the accent becomes normality after a short period. You will not be as excited about it anymore, it's like speaking your own language, people use language to articulate, not to express themselves artistically.

    Hallo, Maria. Wow, cool video. thanks for sharing language and culture. Very interesting. I am still thinking about the complex work that our vocal articulators have to do for producing language sounds. Precisely, yesterday I was listening a song on may way home by bus. I could identify that the Spanish singer pronounce an "a" sound very different depending on the others sunds around it. Oral production is a fascinating universe!
