*Disclaimers*
1. There is no such thing as "a British accent" and "an American accent". There are a variety of accents in both the UK and the USA. But we can make some generalisations between accents in the two countries and that's what I've tried to do in this video. These generalisations of course do not apply to all accents in the respective countries.
2. People living in a particular place will not always sound the same. Not everyone from a certain area will have the same accent feature (or the feature to the same degree) as those in the video. As well as geography, accents vary according to factors such as socioeconomic background, age and ethnicity (among others).
3. There are other general differences between accents in the UK and USA that I haven't talked about in the video.
4. Some topics have been simplified for a general audience.

The problem for most non-native speakers is that they probably learned British english pronounciation at school but forgot it later because they mostly had contact with American english speakers. The result is a strange mixture that exposes you immediately, even if you actually speak English quite well.

I'm a non native speaker, but I've learned English by exposing my self to American content, so I pronounce words much more similar to the American accent. It is very interesting for me to identify my accent in a second language :)

I'm Brazilian and I've been learning English a some time, and I think it's amazing how there are differences between accents

This video is incredible! I'm lucky to find it. Thank you for your time, I image how much work it took to putt all the different accents from real videos together.
