Hello and welcome to Wednesday’s Words with English with Languissimo® which will help you improve your vocabulary so that you can communicate better in English.
My name is Vanessa Rocket. I’m the founder and CEO of Languissimo®.
Today, I will quickly cover the difference between “college” and “colleague”.
- « College » is a noun. Make sure to pronounce [dje] at the end: “college”.
College, like university, is postsecondary education but it is usually cheaper.
Don’t forget to use the verb “to go”: to go to college.
- « A colleague » is also a noun. Make sure to pronounce [league] in the second part of the word: “colleague”.
You usually have colleagues in the workplace, and they are also called “coworkers”.
Some Practice Questions
- Did you go to college or are you going to college?
- Do you get along with your colleagues?
Ta da! That’s it for today! I hope you enjoyed this podcast. Subscribe to English with Languissimo®, practice, take care and have a great Wednesday! Big hugs 😊
