3、ned. My friends spoke little English, and they thought VACANCIES meant holidays, because the Spanish word for holidays is vacaciones.

17、nguage You Should Know D.Different Countries Have Different Body Language The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes.
