Countries and languages

Introduction

Welcome to your English class space!

Let me tell you that this week we are going to learn about different countries around
the world, their languages and nationalities.

It is important to say that if you pay attention carefully, it will be interesting to know
a little about different cultures and how they interact among them.

The following picture shows some countries with their nationalities

represented by their flag.

As you already know the different forms of the verb “be” in simple present, I’m going
to share some examples where you will be able to find a relationship with the
previous vocabulary given.

1. Katherine is from Brazil. She is Brazilian

2. Meybel is from USA. She is American
3. Rodrigo is from Canada. He is Canadian
4. Joseph is from the United Kingdom. He is British
5. Fausto is from Spain. He is Spanish
6. Cristiano is from Portugal. He is Portuguese

It is necessary to clear that even in Spanish sounds good to ask a person.

What is your nationality? ; In spoken English it is usually used the questions: Where are
you from? Or where do you come from? On the other hand, to tell someone your
nationality you do not say:
My nationality is Salvadoran.
you must say
I´m Salvadoran

The following chart demonstrates how some nationalities´ names end

with the same suffixes “ish”, “an” or “ese”
