Learn British Culture with the Movie 'Howards End': Tea vs Dinner

If you've ever felt confused when a British person asks "What did you eat for tea"? then this is the video for you.

You'll learn the difference between "tea" and "dinner" in British English and how the use of these words to talk about meals varies according to social class thanks to the movie, "Howards End" starring Anthony Hopkins, Emma Thompson and Helena Bonham-Carter.

"Howards End" is a movie based on the novel of the same name that explores the lives of three families in the early 20th century: the lower class Basts; the bourgeois intellectuals, the Schlegels and the upper class capitalists, the Wilcoxes.

"Howards End" was our Leo Listening Movie Club pick for January and it gave us plenty to talk about.
