Soccer And Football

A long time ago, I couldn't distinguish the differences between soccer and football. So, I researched it on the internet.

According to a website, ‘soccer’ stands for ‘association football’. It seems that, soccer was a name for football a long time ago.

By the way, I spoke with a new italki friend via skype around noon. He is from Indonesia and studies Japanese eagerly.

He is still developing (working on) his vocablary (people usually don't use large to describe something like vocabulary),  his pronunciation is good. I hope someday we'll be able to speak to each other in Japanese fluently.

Soccer And Football

A long time ago, I couldn't distinguish the differences between soccer and football, so, I researched it on the internet.

According to a website, ‘soccer’ stands for ‘association football’. It seems that, 'soccer' was one of the forms of the word 'football' long time ago.

By the way, I talked with a new italki friend via skype around noon. He is from Indonesia and studies Japanese eagerly.

Though his vocablary is not large yet, his pronunciation is good. I hope someday we'll be able to talk to each other in Japanese fluently.

[Good job.  I find it funny that the English make fun of the Americans because Americans use the word 'soccer', when actually it is the British that invented the word.]
