the difference between American and British pronunciation is not only in individual words, but also in the rythm of the accents.

[AshArAis]

There is also Hiberno-English, borrowings and syntax from Irish. And as we have media from both UK and US we use a mix of pronunciations, some more interchangable and some more fixed. Slightly more in favour of UK english terms, but we don't follow the rules when we don't feel like it :)

learnt Brittish English in school, but American English is all over the internet, so i pronounce and spell words in either way.. I wish I could choose one and learn it from scratch, but I can't decide

The words "privacy" and "schedule" are pronounced differently in the U.K. and the U.S.

[sofiaromero]

Also, sometimes the placement of the accent indicates if the word is a verb or a noun, like 'rebel (noun) and re'bel (verb) :)

These videos are really useful. I hope you keep on uploading this kind of material.

Very good! I'm italian and now I understand my some mistakes of pronunciation, for using American sounds/pronunciation instead of that of UK!

[febrilestari]

I prefer using british accent even if its a bit hard than american because I love UK, I love Europe!! 💖😍

[antonellaesposito]

I'd love to have the subtitles on for my students!

Thank you teacher Tim.I like British and American English

[TheEulerID]

It should be pointed out that the long and short vowel form in glass, path, bath and so on also both occur in British English, with the short vowel form being favoured in the north of England, and the long vowel form in the South. The RP versions aren't the only ones.

Some Caribbean countries, were taught the Queen's english or British. So basically am proud of my english background :)

[carriebizz]

And I'm Australian and we pronounce our English language I'd say about 75% the same as British and the rest being the American way

[fabinholdi]

The more important is know the varieties of English language

[sathishkumarvanjari]

Stressing the words are different but feeling or expression is same.

I like how the american pronunciation is so chill and casual compared to british.

[carrierueden]

[fabianbohn]

There you go ! that's American... Did you mean 'There you are' ! that's the English way to say it. Unless you are of retiring age you won't know that before about 1970 ish we spoke differently. I have been keeping notes on how our language has changed, mainly since the deregulation of television. Now that over 95% of our television programmes are American we (sorry, you) all use American terminology without realizing it, did you notice 'programme' not 'program' When someone says "who is this" when I answer the phone I say "I don't know I don't recognize you voice" because in this country we would say" who is that speaking please" There are dozens of words we never used in this country that we (you) now use. what offends me most is someone like a BBC announcer using Americanisms, today an announcer on BBC Radio 4 said "from the get go" instead of 'from the start'

So there you are, Listen up people, Have a fun day, still, I suppose it makes no never mind, its giving me goose bumps.
Go and have a cookie with your coffee and if your lights fuse get the flashlight out.
Bye for now ....Don.
