#317 British & American Words That Reveal Cultural Differences

There are many differences in vocabulary between British and American English. Some of these are quite well-known and easy to understand (biscuit and cookie, maybe), but others are a bit more complex.

In today's episode, I'm not simply listing these differences. I'm looking at 8 terms that are different in both British and American English, but aren't quite the same in meaning. 

Each term reveals something special about the culture of each country.

Hopefully, this episode will highlight some of the subtle cultural differences in each country, while teaching you new words and ideas.
