Should I Learn British or American English
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm should you learn American
English or British English let’s talk
about it English learners ask me all the
time
Vanessa should I learn American English
or British English and really the answer
to this question is pretty simple number
one you need the motivation to learn
English in general it doesn’t matter if
it’s American English or British English
don’t let this question stop you from
continuing to learn English number two
it pens what you’re using English for if
you’re gonna live in the UK great it
makes sense to feel comfortable with the
British accent maybe Irish accent
English accent it makes sense to feel
comfortable with that but on the other
hand if you are not going to move to the
UK anytime soon if you’re not going to
move to the US or Canada great learn the
version that you feel the most
comfortable with some countries teach
students British English in elementary
school or high school because maybe that
country had some British influence in
history or maybe your school focused on
American English or maybe you like
Hollywood movies or American TV shows go
with that version of English and to tell
you the truth even though some Americans
and some British English speakers will
tell you these are so different in
reality it’s still English yes there are
some vocabulary differences there are
some grammar differences but in the end
it’s the same language so go with the
version that you feel the most
comfortable with and maybe if you find a
teacher you really like who is a British
English speaker or an Australian English
speaker or American English
speaker great you’re not harming your
chances of learning English and
improving if you go with one instead of
the other so remember don’t let this
question stop you from continuing to
learn English find material that works
for you that you enjoy and don’t worry
about if it’s Australian English British
English American English Canadian
English there are several versions of
English but hey it’s the same language
so keep up the good work just continue
to study English and now I have a
