Foreigner vs. stranger
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.
