American English and British English Translated - with our problems at Disney World and a hotel

American Flag

 When travelling, pack a list of Americanisms and British English. I was distressed in Disney, Florida, on hearing that our monorail would be stopping momentarily. I thought they meant briefly, and rushed my family with, our suitcases, to the door. Later I tried to check out of a hotel on the other side of the USA, the west coast, and asked for a porter. I was anxious to check out before the deadline so as not to risk being charged for another half day or day. The porter never arrived. The reciptionist told me to ring housekeeping. They thought I wanted some kind of drink and were in no hurry. Eventually, after ringing recption frantically for the missing porter, I discovered that my hotel receptionist understood only the word bellhop. The word porter is used in the USA, but only at railway stations.

American, Australian, British and Worldwide English - how to understand and be understood

American flag

Have you ever been misunderstood? I asked for a rubber in an American department store. 

The assistant told me, "We don't have any."

I found one. "What's this?" I asked. I gave her the polite smile, which says, "This dear, sweet, store assistant is doing her best, although she has the brains of a shoelace."

She looked at me with the polite smile, which says, "This customer might buy, if she can decide what she wants, although she has the brains of a sock."

She enlightened me. In America it's called an eraser. I asked what she thought I meant when I asked for a rubber

Oops. A rubber is a contraceptive. Take a look at these lists to avoid embarrassing and confusing moments. Watch out for pants.

Where's the petrol tank (gas tank) in a hire car or your car? resister Your car as off the road

Photo from

r	Petar Milošević

from Wikimedia.

Where do I fill up the car?
This puzzled me for years. I would drive into a garage, open the driver's door, and get out and find my petrol tank was the wrong side, the opposite side to the driver.  So I had to get back in and swerve across to the other area.  Or wait.  Or try to back the car, to the annoycance of cars coming in behind me. Or I would stand where I was, trying to get the petrol nozzle to reach around the car.

Tank Indicator On Your Fuel Guage
I was recently alerted to the fact that on your dashboard in the middle of one of the dials, right in front of you, there's a petrol guage. Somewhere within this, is symbol of the petrol (Americans say gas) and an arrow pointing to which side of the car you fill up.

Tank Position
My husband says that years ago, a Jaguar had two tanks, one either side, under the rear wings.
That saved a lot of tought and inconvenience.On the other hand, it wasn not very safe. As safety features were incorporated in later designs, the petrol tanks in cars (Americans say gas tanks) were moved awy from areas of potential impact. Now they are underneath instead of on the sides.

Motorbike Tank Position
My husband, who has driven motorbikes on the road and on circuits, (in his youth! - or rather, later in his second childhood) says ruefully that the same does not appy to motorbikes. On a bike the petrol tank could be over the engine or under the seat. Bikes are smaller, so less petrol.

Anyway, the point of the story is that when you want to find where is the filler point, just look for that handy arrow. Except for emergency services, most people are cuting down on travelling and hiring cars.

Tip - Save Road Tax
If your car is off the road, it might be worthwhile to register your car as off the road, (in the UK, maybe elsewhere) and save on the road tax. If might be less costly to hire a car or taxi for the occasional emergency trip if most of the month your car is off the road.

If you have two or more family cars, or business cars, you might register one off the road and leave the other one taxed in case uiu need it in a hurry, or want neighbours or family, or a repair garage, to have access. On the other hand, to register two or more family cars or business cars or vehicles off the road is an even reater saving.

Re-starting Your Car
While your car is off the road, consider what you might need to do to re-start. Do you want it parked so that it is easy to access the engine to re-charage the battery?

American English, British English, Scottish English and Singlish

With Covid19 affecting travel worldwide, we are all going online and reading about events in other countries so we are increasingly exposed to the varied vocabulary and different dialects or excruciating errors and misunderstandings and puzzlement resulting from translations from one language to another. Here are some of the language differences I have noticed, after living in the UK, USA and Singapore.
                                                       
American English - British English
bell hop - porter
broil -  grilling from the top (unlike grilling from underneath and BBQ from underneath)
diaper - nappy
Dish soap - washing up liquid (I though this was soap in dishes in bathrooms for months until I read about using dish soap to wash dishes.)
Garbage/trash/trash can - rubbish/rubbish bin/waste paper basket (even when it's a bin not a basket)
High guys - hello everybody
main street - high street
make a right - turn right
over easy - fried both sides
truck - lorry
movie - film
Plus (as in fifty plus) - more than (as in more than fifty) (Singaporeans say over as in fifty over)

 American food and drink - English equivalent
grits (from Southern USA)
Hershey bar - Cadbury's chocolate bar/dark chocolate
hot dog - sausage in a bun, frankfurter in a bun

British English - American English
film - movie
fried both sides - over easy
high street - main street
hello everybody - hi guys (In the USA guys includes both sexes, in the UK only men)
lorry - truck
nappy - diaper
porter - bell hop
turn right - make a right
washing up liquid - dish soap (for washing dishes, not in a dish)


 

Scottish - English
bairn - child
bonny - beautiful (and loved one as in the song My bonny lies over the Ocian
kirk - church
loch - lake (Scottish loch pronounced not a voiced ch with front of tongue coming up as in church but like clearing your throat with back of tongue and tongue in a U shape)
nae - no
nicht - night
wee - small

English - Scottish
beautiful - bonny

Easy Languages? Simply Spelling? Phonetic? What you see is what you say?

English spelling used to be random. At St Albans Cathedral you can read old documents where a man is called Jon at one point and John at another. Other words are spelled equally randomly. Reading is very tough going.


Advantages and Disadvantages of English
Spelling was not standard in England until the first dictionary was compiled.


Webster in the USA made all the words shorter and simpler for the benefit of immigrants.

Webster's New Haven home, where he wrote An American Dictionary of the English Language. Now relocated to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan.

Noah Webster Jr. (October 16, 1758 – May 28, 1843) was an American lexicographer, textbook pioneer, English-language spelling reformer, political writer, editor, and prolific author. He has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education". His "Blue-backed Speller" books taught five generations of American children how to spell and read. Webster's name has become synonymous with "dictionary" in the United States, especially the modern Merriam-Webster dictionary that was first published in 1828 as An American Dictionary of the English Language.

Chinese Writing Simplified
The Chinese did the same and simplified their picture writing.


Esperanto Advantages
Esperanto is completely phonetic and with simplified grammar. If you want a simple language, which belongs to no country so nobody feels annoyed or excluded, learn Esperanto.


Advantages of Malay
What you see is what you say.

Problem - Service With Smiles
The server might be surly. The server might by smiling but inept.

When you order four different coffees for four friends at a food court, the server often gets the order wrong. The server won't write it down. management does not give them pens nor allow them to waste time. Solution, write down the order and show it to them. Can they write and read, or are they illiterate?

I read: 'According to UNESCO, Malaysia has an adult literacy rate of 93.12%. The male literacy rate is 95.43%, for females it is 90.75%.

So nine our of ten waiters can read and write. (No. Maybe a high proportion of those who cannot read and write instead of having office jobs will work in a food court.) In addition, some of them are not Malay. The food stalls are run by nationals serving their own food. So if you order a Vietnamese dish, chances are the server won't speak good Malay.

Before leaving home, you can look up the food court which is half way to your destination and check out the food choices.

We visited Malaysia from Singapore, where the four major languages include English, Malay, and Chinese (Mandarin).


Singapore flag




Flag of China

Chinese
No past or future tenses.
Sentences are like telegrams. How are you is ni how - literally 'you good?'
The question is not indicated.


Flag of Italy

Italian and Latin
Like Latin, the word I is shown by the changed ver ending, or suffix, fixed on the end.

Which Are The Useful Language Learning Websites?
Duolingo is great for Spanish and Esperanto.
I did not find it good for Chinese.
I used Chineasy flashcards and books.

American and British Dates - the difference

American and British English vocabulary has differences. We all know that. But what about dates. Yes.

One more thing.
Dates. In writing, the Americans put the month first.


The British put the day first. Not always.

Americans say the numbers for the months. Such as 9/11 which is the 9th of November which seems to contradict what I said.

When filling in forms, watch out for this.When filling in your credit card numbers on forms. And when devising forms and questionnaires for other people to fill in for you to collect information.

My Multi-Language Dream For Europe, Singapore And The World

Problem
Every day we struggle to understand somebody. Friends and family mumble, or the background noise or echo confuses an already unclear message. The telephone operator confuses us from the first word by rushing the company name.

Answers
Long ago a man called Zamenho, born in Bialystok which was then in Russia but is now Poland, saw this problem in his city where several languages were spoken. He spoke several languages. He devised a new simple language which is now called Esperanto. It has only sixteen rules. Where can you learn it? At one university in England. Esperanto is the second language taught in schools in Hungary.

Esperanto is also a culturally neutral language.

Over in America, a man called Webster wrote a dictionary and school workbook to help students and immigrants learn English. He simplified the spelling. If you want to learn elegant English, which sounds lovely, learn British English. However, if you want simplified spelling, learn American.

Now, my dream. Marketing and tourism are helping teachers and learners. When I sit on a train, I read the emergency and exit instructions.

What is my dream for the UK and Europe?

Wales
In Wales I can read Welsh and English on the train. They have just (2018) ended the toll on the beautiful bridge for entering Wales, which welcomes drivers. I
 love the sound of Welsh, and Welsh male voice choirs. Probably the most often heard song for tourists is the Welsh national anthem.

Welsh and Scottish Songs
So the easy answer would be to teach everybody in England the words of Auld Lang Syne and 100 Scottish words and the Welsh national anthem and 100 Welsh words and phrases in primary school.

I regret I have to admit that Welsh and Scottish are minority languages and not a lot of use worldwide, although everybody likes to sing the Scottish song, Auld Lang Syne.
What about some more widespread languages?

European Languages. (to be continued.)

Could We All Be Bilingual?
Yes, if governments insisted on it. It is done in Canada.

Canada
Canadians speak French and English in the capital, Ottawa. being bilingual is a requirement for government jobs.

Why stop at two languages?

Chineasy - learn Chinese on YouTube

Singapore flag. Hear four languages in announcements on the MRT train system.

Singapore
Singapore has four languages, Malay, Mandarin Chinese, English, Tamil. Not many people speak all four. However, most people speak two, with a smattering of one or two more.

Lee Kuan Yew, first prime minister and founding father of Singapore, had a vision of every child in Singapore being bilingual.

Indonesian words you need to get around - and what to see and do first

Indonesia is a good place for a get away from it all holiday, great if you like the great outdoors, the simple life and you are on a budget.

Indonesian is one of the easier languages of Asia. It is written in the Western alphabet (also known as the Roman alphabet - which is a lot easier than the Greek alphabet, unless you are Greek). You can use most of the same words in Malaysia, like British English and American English.

Please and thank you in Indonesian and Mandarin speaking businesses run by the industrious Chinese are not as prevalent and obligatory as in English (and European languages and Japanese). You can generally get by with a smile and a nod.

The words you need to recognize and say most often are for food and drink and transport and accommodation. You can make yourself a list of common words and the memory aids you will need the first day or the first visit until you have picked up the vocabulary.

FOOD AND. DRINK
Food - makan /makanan (Memory aid: Mack, make me some food for Ann, and ...)
Drink - minum (I drink the minimum alcohol when driving but ...)
Water - air (I survive on air and water)
breakfast - makan pagi
lunch - makan siang (mid-day meal) pronounced see-ang
selamat siang (greeting at that time)
dinner (evening meal) - makan siang

selamat like salaam in Arabic and shalom in Hebrew - peace (be with you)

Minibuses are called different names in different places.

day - hari (as in hari raya festival)
hour - jam (Memory aid: We have been in this traffic jam for an hour.) 

ACCOMMODATION
Room - rumah (The rumour is you have a room, uh?)

TRANSPORT
Motorbike taxi - ojek
taxi - taksi
Left - kiri
Right - kanan
straight on - trus
di depan - in front of

Tourist Destinations
1 Bali
Temples with flower petals on the steps, the scent of tuberose, shows of gamelan music and dancing, shadow puppets. Clifftop hotels with infinity pools.

2 Batam island

3 Jakarta (if on business, at the weekend, or weekdays the hanging around spouse can take tours to assorted monuments and theme parks)

4 Borobodur temple

5 Trek one of the extinct volcanoes with a group, either commercial or privately organized.
If you take a commercial group, you might find a fellow enthusiast who knows private groups. They generally send one person to do a recce or fact finding mission on transport, accommodation, food and routes and costs of hiring guides.

Do you need a guide? Some routes are well-marked and can be done in half a day or less.

But you don't want to get lost on a volcano. It's best not to climb alone and in case of bad weather or sickness or injury.

You will need a lot of water. On an overnight or dawn trip, it helps or just to have somebody carrying a heavy bag with food and water, or going on ahead to set up a tent or two and supper for the group. Plus, of course, carrying your bulky empty containers and litter back with you. As they say, leave only footprints.

Do you know these false friends - words in American and British English, French and German?

Problem
You see a word which sounds like English. You think you know what it means. But it turns out to be something different.

Answers
False Friends
American English - British English
erasers are rubbers
pacifier is dummy
pants are trousers
pantyhose are tights
rubbers are condoms
suspenders are what the British call braces (holding up trousers; for the British supenders and what hold up ladies' stockings
the car's hood is the bonnet
the car's trunk is the boot
underpants are pants

French - English
Hotel de ville in French means town hall.
Grand in French is not grand but big.

German - English
Old-timer in German and Dutch is what the English would call a classic car; old-timer in English means an elderly person
Rathaus is not a rat house but a town hall, usually containing a tourist restaurant serving local specialities in a historic cellar.
A gymnasium in Germany is academic, a college, but in the UK it is a hall with equipment for physical activity indoors
