Palinkasocsi  +  678474 Sun, 22 Feb 09 03:48 PM Dear Friends, In Headway Pre-Intermediate there is an exercise about confusing words. Now, look at the following fill-in: foreigner vs. stranger I'm English. I come from Brighton. In Paris I am a .. . I'm from Brighton. In Manchester, in the north of England, I am a .. . Most dictionary definitions use foreigner/stranger interchangebly for both meanings (1. somebody from a different country; 2. somebody from a different part of the country) Any ideas? Thank you.

In Manchester, in the north of England, I am a stranger.   Foreigner is usually someone who comes from a foreign country.  Stranger could be just about as foreigner but stranger is someone you don't know. Well, in your case no one knows you in Manchester but yet you're still in your own country.  Madhulk Joined on Mon, Dec 17 2007 Bulgaria Senior Member 3,177 THE MAN OF STEEL Countries, France, United Kingdom, Great Britain, Languages
