Differences between American English and British English!
Autor: Erikinhah | Publicado: 2011-06-25T11:58:00-07:00

Gostaria de compartilhar aqui a lição mais cansativa que tive até o momento, mas muito importante quando se trata de países e regiões diferentes. Vi nesta aula a diferença entre substantivos, ortografia, gramática e pronuncia in English.... ufaaa valeu a pena! Isto é só o começo, não são todas as diferenças existentes.
