American and British English: Color or Colour? A Brief History and Notable Differences - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
English is a language that, like other languages, has a rich history dating back thousands of years. Sort of mash-up of ancient Germanic languages and Roman Latin, English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world thanks to the spread of British and American influence across the world over the last several hundred years.
