take care, seeya!

hi topy

how are you??

i think american people talking faster than british people

and there are some of another words different

thanx for your topic

Americans make the english easier . Pronunciation is more suitable . . . That’s why they talk faster

Thanks for the share, Toby. Yes you are right, there are many differences. We had a list like this one this year; however, ours include general rules. For instance, there are some verbs like 'generalise, realise and so on..' in British English and these verbs are used in American English with 'z'consonant(generalize, realize). Your list is more comprehensive, of course :) And there won't be any difficulty in understanding a different consonant or vowel :) Anyway, I have just wanted to mention about minor differences, too :)

I have just learned a lesson callesd it. In Junior School, we learned British english, in High  School, we learned American english. Now, I think it is very chaos. My english is neither fish nor fowl. I feel annoying.

Is there differences in english with each country that speaks it?  i know of british and american differences, but how about australian or canadian or new zealand english?  are they different too?  regards :)

There are some differences i think, but they are mostly slang words and not as many commonly used words are different.

U’re right,Toby!Sometimes, my friends mixed British n American English when they’re talking coz they don’t know the differencies between British n American English.And it makes me confused. When I visited ur website n learned the list of differencies, I became understand.I think, American is easier to learn than British.

i found the american pronunciation way easier !

not sure Perhaps the British speak Classical english?

Thank you Toby for the share. It is very useful!
