Why I Made It

As I said, I like food! 😄

No matter who we are or where we are from, we eat. Eating is necessary AND enjoyable. Food brings people together. Food helps us learn about and taste (pun intended) another culture. We already have access to other foods from outside our culture, so we might as well learn about them and what makes them special. I cannot think of a more delicious lesson. 😋

This ebook is free to download. Tell me what you think!

Happy American Independence Day!

In the 1700s along the Atlantic coast of the Americas were thirteen colonies that belonged to England.

Things were not so easy, King George of England was not very fair, and the colonists (people who lived in the colonies) were not happy.

After some time, strong disagreements, and a few fights, the leaders of the thirteen colonies decided to tell King George that enough was enough and they wanted to be free--on July 4, 1776.

King George did not like that.

So they fought.

Several years, battles, and deaths later, the thirteen colonies won the war and became The United States of America. It would take about 170 years for the United States to grow from 13 to 50 states.

In that time, languages continued to evolve and develop. So much so, that now we have "American English" and "British English" (along with "Australian,""South African," "Kiwi," "Singaporean," and other types of English).

If you have watched any Hollywood movie, you will have heard and experienced American English. If you prefer the BBC or Harry Potter movies, all you heard was British English.

Isn't it so strange that both are English, but they are also different languages almost?

If you liked my collection of Engoo articles on books, get ready for my next collection!

What's Inside

7 articles (yes, I know it is very short, but I will continue to add new articles as they come out!) on US vs. UK English vocabulary of different topics, like:
- School
- Home
- Food Shopping
- Football / Soccer
- ... and others.
Each title is linked to its article on Engoo.com/app/daily-news.
All pages are numbered.
Large print.
Many new vocabulary within each article.
Pictures for each American and British vocabulary (some are the same, others are not).

Why I Made It

Why not? 😄

Ok, I believe it is good to be familiar with the two most powerful sources of English in the world. I think they are interesting and I think you do, too.

Besides, it was very short, so again: why not? 😉

I hope this collection helps and entertains you as you read, learn, compare, and improve your English (whichever one you want 😉).

April 23 is International Book Day. Did you know this? I didn't.

I became curious, asked Google, and saw this date was the answer.

I knew this would be the perfect time to share a project I was working on: a collection of Engoo articles all about books.

I just started collecting and organizing Engoo's book articles one day several months ago. As you can imagine, this took many hours, but I enjoyed every moment.

Behold, the result. I want to give you this free resource I made.

What's Inside

- Specific Books
- E-readers / E-books
- Audiobooks
- Book Artists and Authors
- Rare Books
- Book Bans
- Book Expressions, Idioms, and Phrases
- Writing Advice
- ... and several more, each category has between 2 and 40 articles.
Each title is linked to its article on Engoo.com/app/daily-news.
All pages are numbered.
Large print.
Many new vocabulary within each article.

Why I Made It

I love learning, reading, and good stories and lessons. Books are a great way to access all those things. Whether for learning English or for fun, I enjoyed collecting and organizing all these articles.

I hope this collection helps you and brings you enjoyment as you read, learn, and improve your English.

It's free to download. Enjoy!
