vestibule?
I watched an American drama today. In the drama, the actor said "I am trapped in an ATM vestribule."
What is the difference between entrance and vestribule?
Are they tha same?
My dictionary saids both of them are translated to "genkan" in Japanese.
ummm...

I see, so that is why it sounds funny. as you know, we take off our shoes before we come into house ,so there are spaces to take off and on our shoes. we call it genkan ^-^ it's mainly used for the space of house.

I've never heard this word used except with reference to the entrance of a catholic church. It's pretty unusual to hear it used for anything else (genkan is my new japanese word of the day now).

Vestibule means a lobby or an entrance hall. And I believe you won't hear this word often.
Entrance usually is just an entrance :) So to me, they have a different meaning.

Oh this was Friends, right? I love that show!
Well, a vestibule is a little space between the entrance door and the main part of the building.
The entrance to somewhere is where you go in through.
Hope I cleared that up! =)
