Hello everyone! I'm currently learning French and working on improving my Vietnamese and Spanish! Though I can speak Vietnamese fluently, I have always struggled with the reading and writing because of the accent marks! As for Spanish, it has been about 5 years since I last learned it so I have forgotten most of the grammar!

    The main difference is in the pronounciation and stressed syllables. However, even among the American and English voice, there are distinct regional differences (similar to North Vietnamese vs. South Vietnamese). My favorite example is "water". (Western/ California) American voice: "wah-der" -the t sounds like a very light d. English voice: "waA-Tah" - I can't really explain this one as well, but to me, the t is emphasized more and the overall pronounciation is rounder with the mouth!

    Hi Serg, They both have the same meaning to describe something that you have less of what you truly want. However, I would say that "shortage" is more commonly used in writting and talking compared to "shortfall". -Phuc

    A bad day

    Yesterday, when I prepared while preparing dinner for my family, my forefinger was I accidentally cut by myself my index finger. There was much a lot of blood coming from the wound and it hurt. I felt hurt. At first, I thought I lost a forefinger-joint and was became scared. After looking at it carefully, I relized saw that I lost a small piece of flesh as equal as 1/3 nearly one-third the size of a fingernail. I It hurt all last throughout the night. This morning, I took an efferalgan to relieve the pain. I am saddened by my carelessness. My index forefinger will now be ugly. Being a girl, I hate it so much:( I have to do almost everything by with just my right arm now.
    I hope that my wound will be good heal soon. I will be much more carefull with the knife from now on. It is an remembered important lesson learned.

    But I look forward to your correction. Tks so much!

    Hello Holly! This was very well written! The only thing I would say is that the word "forefinger" isn't used as commonly as "index finger"!

     

    Xin cháo bạn! Bạn viết tiếng Anh rắt hay! Thật ra là tự "forefinger" không có sự dùng thường như tự "index finger"!
