At his time I would like to know some things about England. For example: when I hear UK what does contain this name: Scottish, North Ireland, London except Whales - I think. And than which name does all including? I know you you`ll find it immediately. Thanks in advance. Last Edited By: hermine 03/06/08 11:16 AM. Edited 1 time.

Be Nice Posts: 2 02/07/08 11:37 PM	Hi Lynne! I'm new here. I have a question for you. I'm going to London in August. I talk quite a nice english, but I'm afraid they can't understand me, since it is my very first time going to England. Is it true that you are not very pleasing with people who do not speak your language in an almost perfect way? Thank's!

Super Member Posts: 28447 03/07/08 5:03 PM Your Teacher	Hi Alyssa, Welcome to the forum. Personally my friends and I have no problem with people who don't speak perfect English, but some people may use it as an excuse to be rude. They tend to be rude people anyway, and therefore not worth getting to know. I find the best way to deal with the fact that you may not express yourself very clearly is to be up front from the start. Just say "I'm learning English, so I apologise if I make any mistakes." (I have to do this in German all the time.) Good luck. And if anyone is horrid to you, send them to me.

Posts: 14 19/07/08 4:43 PM	Hello Lynne . Nice topic , I did a project about the british wedding traditions in the last semester and it was amazing .. but I have a question please . is it true that in the past they used to keep a piece from the wedding cake for a very long time as a nice memento from the weeding ? & if it's true how do they keep it fresh for all this time ? I wrote this in my project but I'm eager to know how the keep it ..

Super Member Posts: 28447 20/07/08 12:05 PM Your Teacher	Hi Laloo, There are several wedding cake traditions. One is to keep the top layer until the birth of your first baby, but some people choose to save it until their first anniversary.. What you have to realise is that a traditional wedding cake is baked with lots of alcohol and then sealed under a layer of marzipan and icing. So, as long as it's stored in an airtight container it keeps for a very long time. Your Teacher http://www.learn-english-network.org

Loyal Member Posts: 91 07/08/08 6:58 PM	Interesting! I read the article about clothes, and I have just realized that I have some Scottish gusto because I like wearing dresses and skirts very much! Lynne, I would like to ask you if it is right to use the word "gusto" or not? I wanted to say that I like the way scottish people wear, so I could have a scottish origin...

Moderator Super Member Posts: 6454 01/03/09 8:29 PM Moderator	Hi Lynne, I was wondering on what the Briton believe in. There is a queen and she is the leader of the church what I know. The English people celebrate Christmas, lent, Easter,...like as the Christians do but they aren`t catholics. What faith is it?

Super Member Posts: 28447 01/03/09 8:37 PM Your Teacher	Well Britain is multi-cultural and multi-faith, which includes catholicism. But the church that is headed by the Queen is called the Church of England. Your Teacher http://www.learn-english-network.org
