THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION!

There is a solution...Kiss those annoying subtitles goodbye and get more out of music by learning English!

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT NOWADAYS
TO LEARN ENGLISH?

5. English is a fantastic intellectual challenge

Being fluent in a second language clearly demonstrates a powerful brain and reflects someone who has put in a huge amount of time and effort to master another language.

...it is spoken in more countries than any other language: apart from the UK, 60 of the world's 196 countries have English as their official language.

LET´S HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT THESE REASONS

Have I already convinced you?

If you are looking for a new challenge, learning English is what you need; it will help you develop life skills, meet new people and grow your confidence by going through new situations.

English is undoubtedly one of the hardest languages to learn. Full of unexpected pronunciations and strange rules, it takes perseverance to reach a good level of fluency.

You might also need to attend conferences as part of your career. If you speak English, you will understand the talks. You never know, there may be a new employer among the crowds of delegates, so make sure you can communicate with them!

4. English allows you to attend international events and conferences

You will be in a stronger position to apply for jobs in other countries or in English-speaking multinational corporations with offices in your home country.

Most of the content on the Internet (55%) is in English. So, knowing English will allow you to access an incredible amount of information which may not be available otherwise!

2. English gives you wider access to knowledge and allows you to get more from popular culture

The number of people in the world that use English to communicate regularly is 2 billion!

Will you make this number even bigger by learning it yourself?

NOUNS
In British English, collective nouns can take either singular or plural verb forms, depending on whether the emphasis is on the body or the members within it.
i.e."A committee was appointed."
" The committee were unable
to agree."

There are quite a few noticeable differences between the British English dialect and the evolved dialect of American English.

These are the ones we will cover:

- Spelling
- Pronunciation
- Grammar
- Vocabulary

There are also other words borrowed from French that feature stress differences.
American first-syllable; British last-syllable:
address, mustache, cigarette, magazine
American 1st-syllable; British 2nd-syllable:
liaison, Renaissance
American 2nd-syllable; British last-syllable:
New Orleans

British English = non-rhotic
American English = rhotic
The /r/ sound is pronounced in BrE in syllable-initial position (red) and intervocalically (barrel), but not postvocalically (car /ka:/).
In AmE it is pronounced wherever it is orthographically present.

There are quite a few noticeable differences between the British English dialect and the evolved dialect of American English.

These are the ones we will cover:

- Spelling
- Pronunciation
- Grammar
- Vocabulary

American and British English speakers often use the same words but intend very
different meaning with them:

VERBS
morphology
American -- "-ed"
British -- "-t"
i.e. learned/learnt, dreamed/dreamt
British English rarely use "gotten;" instead, "got"
is much more common.
Past participles often vary:
i.e. saw - American: sawed; British: sawn

tenses
British English employs the present perfect to talk about a recent event {i.e. "I've already eaten," "I've just arrived home."}

auxiliaries
British English often uses "shall" and "shan't"
American English uses "will" and "won't"

NOUNS
In British English, collective nouns can take either singular or plural verb forms, depending on whether the emphasis is on the body or the members within it.
i.e."A committee was appointed."
" The committee were unable to agree."

Other word-specific differences are:

The letter can double in American as well - but ONLY IF the stress is on the second syllable
of the base word.

Base words that end in L normally double the L in
British English when a suffix is added.

"Uno de estos dos niños tiene algo en sus manos que se ha prohibido en América para protegerlos. Adivina cuál de ellos". Con estas frases --sobreimpresas sobre una foto de un menor que sostiene un huevo de chocolate Kinder y una niña que sostiene un rifle-- la oenegé Moms demand action for gun sense in America --que podría traducirse como Madres que piden actuar con sentido común con las armas en América--- pretende concienciar sobre la venta legal de armas en EEUU.

La oenegé, creada en diciembre del 2012, se define a sí misma como una organización "creada para demandar acciones a legisladores, tanto estatales como federales, empresas e instituciones educativas para establecer reformas sobre las armas con sentido común".

En Estados Unidos, la distribución de huevos Kinder -- huevos de chocolate que llevan en su interior una cajita de plástico que, a su vez contiene una sorpresa, que suele ser un juguete pequeño desmontado-- es ilegal, en virtud de una ley de 1938, que prohíbe cualquier alimento que contenga juguetes en su interior.

Detenidos por la golosina

De hecho, ya ha habido algún susto en el país norteamericano por transportar objeto tan peligroso, como el que se llevaron en julio del 2012 dos hombres, que fueron retenidos en la frontera de EEUU por 'traficar' con huevos Kinder.

Pero no es la única imagen impactante distribuida por la oenegé contraria a la venta legal de armas. Dentro de la misma serie --adivina qué crío sostiene algo prohibido en EEUU-- hay otra en la que se puede ver a dos niñas: una con el popular cuento 'Caperucita roja' y otra con el rifle de marras. Al parecer, y según reza el cartel publicitario de la oenegé, algunas ediciones de ' Caperucita roja' han sido prohibidas porque en la cestita que la niña llevaba a su abuelita había una botella de vino. Y las leyes respecto al alcohol también son muy severas en EEUU.
