Hello and welcome to Wednesday’s Words with English with Languissimo® which will help you improve your vocabulary so that you can communicate better in English.

My name is Vanessa Rocket. I’m the founder and CEO of Languissimo®.

Today, I will quickly cover the difference between “college” and “colleague”.

-          « College » is a noun. Make sure to pronounce [dje] at the end: “college”.

College, like university, is postsecondary education but it is usually cheaper.

Don’t forget to use the verb “to go”: to go to college.

-          « A colleague » is also a noun. Make sure to pronounce [league] in the second part of the word: “colleague”.

You usually have colleagues in the workplace, and they are also called “coworkers”.

Some Practice Questions

Ta da! That’s it for today! I hope you enjoyed this podcast. Subscribe to English with Languissimo®, practice, take care and have a great Wednesday! Big hugs 😊
