These are the words the 3rd grade kids at Junior High had to learn today:
actor
act
spoke
line
skill
sign language
star
4 out of 7 words have more than one meaning, and they don't learn the obvious one. Line here refers to lines in a play. Star refers to feature (as in, starred in a movie). I don't expect teacher to explain every nuance of English and the games words play, but why aren't textbooks being written with useful words? I don't think I ever learned the Spanish word for line (meaning lines in a play) in 2 years of University Spanish. No wonder students get frustrated with learning English!
