There are lots of wordlists if you look at DOWNLOADS - you download them and can edit them to fine tune the playlists to your own requirements.

Um..... many thanks KL - I know I'm dense - but I somehow had the idea that you had to have a score of 10 Karma before you could give it to others - I'm obviously one of those slow learners

Also ( probably because I am dense) - tell me - do you click on 'applaude / smite' for giving Karma ?
I have to TIA for being so helpful !! 

[and Latin]

Very true - I did 'O' levels (ummm long ago ).

My Mum and my (much)older siblings took something called matriculation which I think was an examination which required a 'pass' in all the subjects taught at High School  (yes it was called 'High School' for Senior pupils before WW2 in my town)  Sometimes someone didn't pass and had to take the year again before they could matriculate and leave school. Of course that must have been in the dark ages 

At that time and up until I was 18, a pass in Maths and Latin at 'O' level was a requirement for University entrance - and Latin was not offered at all schoools so many young people did not have the chance to go to university.

 
Dare I beg for Karma as well ? 

I would love to be able to give Karma - if we qualify, will we be able to give Karma in the full version post Beta of the LR software?

Also - will we keep the Karma that we already have?

I don't know the terms for educational establishments in other countries.
Schooling in UK
    Nursery School/ playgroup ...up to 4/5yrs
    Infant school ... 4/5 to 7yrs
    Junior School ... 7 to 11yrs
    Secondary School ... 11 to 16 yrs
    6th form College ... 16 to 18 yrs
    University (aka Uni)

In some areas we have Comprehensive Schools for all ability levels,and Grammar schools for more able children from 11 yrs up.
There are other types of school as well - Middle school for ages 9 to 13 yrs - and Independent Schools which are not under state control

There is another category of education in the UK called Home Schooling - I did this with my son (now grown up) from birth to age 12 yrs - he then joined a local school so that he could study subjects that I did not feel competent to teach. Not many people do this but it is actually legal.

There are also really confusing categories for naming types of schools:- 
     State Schools which are for anybody regardless of income...
     Public Schools - most public schools are fee paying and are in the private sector (such as Eton and Harrow)
We have 'GCSE' and 'A' levels at 16yrs and 18 yrs ...then University degree....though there are a host of other qualifications as well.
 
Just to confuse the issue - Scotland has a different way of naming its types of schools and scholastic qualifications!!!

I would be interested to know how levels of attainment are named in other countries...

tomato   pronounced tomarto...(UK)
tomato   pronounced tomayto...(US

mobile  or  mobile phone  ....    (UK)
cell phone                     ...     (US)

US... Santa .....Santa Claus       
UK Father Christmas.....and also Santa Claus
I think some places they call him Saint Nicholas....does anyone know where....(is it Holland) ?

US and most places that I can think of have New Year.....in Scotland its Hogmanay

There are lots of differences in pronunciation in the UK according to region -
In the north which is where I come from (Yorkshire)  we say bath - path with a short 'a' whereas in the south of England (London) they elongate the 'a' so that bath sounds like 'barth', and path like 'parth' 

Local dialect can be so strong that it sometimes makes it difficult for people from different regions to be able to understand each other! Dialect is more noticeable in rural areas and used by older people.

I can think of one or two words for the list of US /UK differences: Correct me if I am wrong on these 
       
Vehicles            US  hood      UK  bonnet
                       US  trunk     UK  boot

Baby                US pacifier    UK dummy      (I think they say that in US anyway)
                       US diaper      UK nappy - same as in Australia

Food                US cookies    UK biscuits   

Gardening          US yard         UK garden
                       US dirt          UK soil

Kitchen             US dish-soap  UK washing up liquid

Hi!
I'm in the UK. I was born in Scarborough, North Yorkshire but have been living in Thirsk N Yorkshire England for many years now. 

Hi Lappy 

Thanks for the friendly welcome to this site.
I live in England & am a grandmother of 14 kids ages range from 20mths to 21 yrs.
In about 1966 I used the Teach Your Baby to Read kit for about 10mths with my elder son and he loved it!

Now I have three little grandsons who stay with me for part of each week, they are 20 mths, 2yrs 8mths, & 3yrs 8mths. I was so excited to find Little Reader and am practising adding my own pronunciation and pictures for each of them along with their names.
That is all I have got so far, but I am impressed that I can use my voice - my own pictures, and their names so easily - in 1966 we had to use felt tip pens to make our own extra cards!!!
