Still learning the language (almost a week at the University)

Staff means Faculty, and Faculty means School; Paper means Course, and Course means Program; Essay means Paper; Marks means Points, and Points means Credits; Semester means Semester (surprise!) but for kids in primary and secondary school, it is "term," but we mustn't use "term" for University Semesters. I'm almost finished with my outline (aka syllabus). The real fun starts next week!

Do they sell English/English dictionaries in New Zealand? It could be owrse, like in England and Scotland where they speak English with accents that are utterly unintelligible to anyone born more than 5 miles away.
