Поширена помилка:
Learners often confuse "embassy" with "consulate" and "ambassador." An embassy is the main diplomatic mission in a foreign capital and is led by an ambassador. A consulate is a smaller office, usually in other cities, that mainly helps its citizens (for example with passports and visas). "Ambassador" is the person; "embassy" is the mission or office.
Синоніми
diplomatic mission (More formal and technical; stresses the function rather than the everyday word most people use.)

legation (Old-fashioned or historical term; rarely used in modern everyday English.)
