This week's word challenge is a fun one. It is all to do with differnet dialects.
I want you to to understand how words vary across dialects,. For example, These words all mean the same thing but are used in different parts of the UK and the English speaking world. e
example - plimsolls, daps, sand-shoes, pumps, trainers, sneakers
Can you think a list of words that different people use for the same thing???? You can start and chain you like.
Add your comments to this link - points for house teams will be awarded. Your team is counting on you!!!
