"I followed the English course with Jennifer and I am happy to have done so. The course was clear, well structured, and the principal topics were covered: grammar, vocabulary, reading and pronunciation. The method is complete and I made real progress. Jennifer directs the course very well, listens to me and gives precise examples to help me retain the difficult parts of English. I recommend you follow her course and I hope that you progress the same as me."
--Joelle of Montpellier, France "J'ai suivi des cours d'anglais avec Jennifer, et je suis contente de l'avoir fait. Ses cours sont clairs, bien structurés, les principaux sujets sont abordés : grammaire, vocabulaire, lecture et prononciation. La méthode est complète, et j'ai fait de réels progrès. Jennifer dirige très bien le cours, est à mon écoute et me donne des exemples précis pour retenir les formes compliquées de l'anglais. Je vous recommande de suivre ses cours, et vous souhaite de progresser comme moi." --Joelle, de Montpellier, France |

UK vs. USA spellings
Image courtesy Zoutpansberger via FB.
You will notice the way English words are spelled is dependent upon whether you are in the UK, Canada, Australia or the USA or other English-speaking regions.
"Color, humor, organization and theater" are USA spellings. In fact, here is a very long list known as the "Comprehensive list of American and British spelling differences" (go to: http://www.tysto.com/uk-us-spelling-list.html).
As an example, you see (at right) an announcement published in a newspaper in South Africa, a country that follows UK English. Notice "finalised," the UK spelling, not "finalized," (USA). Pronunciation is exactly the same, but there is an "S" not a "Z."
For your writing, be aware of these differences in spelling. Most importantly, choose one style and be consistent. Review the spellcheck feature on your email or MSWord document to be sure you're using the correct version (UK or USA) for your audience.
