New Dictionary and Buzz Words


I recently came across a stupendous online dictionary which is a very practical tool for all you English language learners out there. The Macmillan Dictionary compares American English and British English and has a thesaurus all rolled into one. They've also got a whole section dedicated to Buzz Words. Don't know what a buzzword is? Check out the definition by clicking here.

In our English conversation classes at Ondas, one of the areas we focus on is pragmatics. According to the Macmillan Dictionary, pragmatics is "the study of how language is used in particular situations to express a meaning or attitude that may not be obvious from the actual words". In other words, you'll learn how to express yourself and convey messages more successfully in English. Join us this fall, and in the words of Macmillan: learn English, live English, love English.
