English Language Day

Posted by NG Kids in News Bites on October 13, 2010

Today, October 13, is English Language Day, a day to celebrate the English language and the people who speak it. This year’s theme is the language of place. The English Project’s website is collecting nicknames for places in Great Britain.

Are there any fun nicknames for places where you live? Leave a comment and tell us!
