14 FUN FACTS ABOUT ENGLISH You Didn’t Know

Показать описание

Hey guys! Welcome to Linguamarina channel and welcome to my new setup. I decided to move to my guest bedroom and this is what everything looks like here. I am planning to post this video on my Birthday. First homework to you is to guess my age down in the comments below. I'm gonna like the comments that are correct. And I decided to make this video special. I decided to make it less educational and more fun. In this video, we are going to talk about fun facts about the English language so that the next time when you're in the company of other English learners and English speakers, you could be like: "Did you know that there are "more English speakers in China than in the US." If you're interested in learning those facts, continue watching this video.

A new word is added to the dictionary every two hours. That means that around 4,000 new words are added to the English dictionary every single year!

More people in the world have learned English as their second language than there are native English speakers.

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" is not the longest word in English but "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" is!

English is the language of the air. Every pilot has to know English because everything that's happening in the sky is in English.

The average English speaker knows between 20,000 and 30,000 words.

Do you know what's the most used word in English? It's the word "I".

I don't know how useful it is but if you write down all the numbers as words (e.g. one, two, three...), you would not use the letter "b" until the word "billion".

The word "good" has over 380 synonyms in English which makes it a word that has the most synonyms.

After the American Revolution, people in America decided to make a language different from the British. They thought that British English had too many things that are not necessary, for example, the British "colour" transformed into American "color".

The word "queue" sounds the same even if the last four letters are removed.

The word "synonym" is one of the few words in the English language that doesn't have a synonym.

When we want to say "the day after tomorrow", we say "the day after tomorrow". But there's actually a word, one word for it which is "overmorrow".

Did you know that Shakespeare added over a thousand new words to the English language when he was writing his masterpieces?

There are words in the English language that don't have a meaning and they actually have a special term, they are called "ghost words". They appeared because somebody made a typo when they were working on the dictionary.
