Use every language you know to learn English, and use English to understand other people.
made of = hecho de · order: a small black leather bag (size, colour, material).
Languages borrow English words: le smartphone (FR), il computer (IT), o mouse (PT). German calls a mobile phone Handy — an English-looking word that English doesn't use!
Returns and guarantees: compare the return policy of a British store and a store in Honduras.
Recommend the best product for a classmate's needs, with 2 reasons.
Your languages count: ask at home or in your community how to say it in Garífuna, Miskitu, the English of the Bay Islands or any other language you know, and add it to your glossary. Add it to «My languages» in your Passport →
