dbm Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 A curriculum is all the courses taught in a school--Thai, English, Maths etc... A syllabus is all the subjects taught within one course--English--grammar,vocab,comprehension etc... The government schools are closed on Monday so enjoy another long weekend!

Don't think there's a difference except that you can make the first plural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I thought the plural was spelled syllabi. Silly me. Are two Volkswagen buses microbi? Two British sports cars Loti? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETERTHEEATER Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I thought the plural was spelled syllabi. Silly me. Are two Volkswagen buses microbi? Two British sports cars Loti? No, it's all in the pronunciation. However, perhaps the language experts could tell me this. The town of BICESTER in the UK is pronounced Bista The town of TOWCESTER is pronounced Towsta So why is not the town of CIRENCESTER pronounced Srinsta? The locals call it Sirensesta!

mijan24 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) I thought the plural was spelled syllabi. Silly me. Are two Volkswagen buses microbi? Two British sports cars Loti?
