I really like these american vs british english, but i think its not enough for people like us that english is not our native language. Can you teach more especially on british accent? I would like to learn more on the accent

I have seen theatre spelled the British way in America. I actually live right down the street from a theatre that spells it that way and have always spelled it that way myself. Also, I did not know we spelled dialogue like that.

Watching this reminds me of how English teachers in my county mix up American English and British English.

Some things of British spelling are quite confusing: humour BUT humorous and humorist, curious BUT curiosity. And the final blow is dealt by the numerals: four, fourteen and forty. I quit...

Thank you for putting many intersting videos, they help me a lot.

May I ask you a favour ? I don't hear clearly your saying on 3:18.

The spelling with American Englisch seems like more ??? system ??? British Englisch. British seems more traditional.

Can you tell me exactly what you say ?

Useful video! Too bad teachers are not taking the time to explain this to us. Maybe next time include words like grey and gray? :D
