In the beginning of my English studies I used to think a lot about it. I realized that when you're learning a new language, whether it's English or any language, the most fascinating thing is the wide variety of accents, dialects, regionalisms and so on. I believe that we learn it casually and normally by listening to a podcast, radio station or even reading a book, an article on the internet, watching a good movie and etc. This is a complete immersion and you'll soon realize that you are acquiring the language naturally as well. Just dive into it and do not worry too much on what "English" you should know. Gradually you will understand it!
Hi Alex, Thank you for the tips. I've been watching American and British english classes, I love british accent but living in USA American English it is my focus. Engevid have been my preference channel . Thank you for your excellent classes.
💯agree with your answer to the question. Living in the UK but choosing to learn American English because you like the brand more is foolish, but unfortunately it has started to happen.
I rather to learn american english because i am from latinoamerica and there are a lot of material like books, movies, series, music etc, but on the other hand is necessary to learn some of british vocabulary because in any travel abroad you can come across with any ramdom people even british native speakers
Brilliant!!! I"m thinking which version yo choose , british "RP" or American general standard. In my case is just for travelling. Being sincere i love british culture. Although I would like visit Us
I started learning English using a British book, 15 years ago. So I learned future tense with "shall", words like "tobacco", "metres", and stuff like that. Today my accent is more American. I love British accent but I just listen a lot more American and I still have some difficulty to understand British natives speaking.
Hi teacher I hope you are well. I have been living in London for 5 years now. I think the best option is to study both American and British. But for someone like me who is living in London and studying, I'd rather study British English rather than American English. I don't have a preference for both as the teacher said the grammar is 99% the same, so what we have to do is to study and enjoy the language. To be honest at beginner I did not like English before I came to London, but when I arrived in London I started to love English, and today I use it as my first language. I love British idioms, British slang, and British accent. Today I can have a conversation in English with anyone and this makes me very happy. I appreciate your English lesson.
My problem is that I don't understand British accents very well. Once I tried to watch Peaky Blinders and I literally didn't understand anything without subtitles😢
Well I am sure I have used both of these language/dialect* (i hope someone kind will clear my confusion) even though very few times it feels interesting, I dont bother/being conscious* to be careful using/hearing/Writing/listening specific one. I'm feeling great that I've seen your content. Your video is the second (orderly) one I have find so insightful today. I've just forget the channel I enjoyed first where I found your video in his saved playlist. That amazing video was about improving writing skills- 'showing not telling'. I found this content super interesting where he teaches why you should stop 'telling' through your writing and how you can show the moment, 'showing', you are referring through your writing. This one of my few comments in UA-cam. I really liked how adequately you answered the question ! How you used those interesting little facts to make the content very rich! I struggle answering question and of course writing those. From now on, counting this comment, I will try using that, 'showing', writing approach to improve my writing after getting inspired from the first video that I vaguely mentioned and your aspiration has made me interested in focusing on my my answering structure. Thanks and may you live long 🌼
I’m so glad you enjoyed the writing video as well, and that you found it inspiring! I love watching videos that inspire creativity and positive habits in me, too. :) Have a great day!
This is mainly a resource for orthographically-challenged Canadians, although others may find it useful too. As in most matters, Canadian spelling is somewhere on that ill-defined continuum between British and American practices. Also as in most matters, Canadian spelling is a little more flexible than either British or American spelling. While, in general, it is closer to the British, the American variant is sometimes preferred, and often either would be considered acceptable (although the British is still usually considered “more correct”). It can even be argued that there is a regional bias within Canada: in general terms, Ontario, British Columbia and Newfoundland are usually closer to the British usage, and Alberta and the Prairie provinces closer to the American. Australians, New Zealanders and South Africans tend to stick much more closely with the original British spelling, but Canada is much more swayed by its powerful neighbour to the south. As the influence of the heavily America-centric Internet increases we may see still further inclination towards American practices. Historically, many of the differences in regional spelling came about (or were at least consolidated) with Samuel Johnson’s “Dictionary of the English Language” of 1755 in Britain and Noah Webster’s “American Dictionary of the English Language” of 1828 in the US. Webster in particular was a vociferous proponent of spelling reform, and an attempt to make an unwieldy and inchoate language a little simpler and more logical. This web page is specifically concerned with the orthography (or what you and I call ‘spelling’) of words. It does not concern itself with Canadian, British and American vocabulary, or differences in the actual words used. If you need a discussion of the intricacies of whether to use “spanner” or “wrench”, or the difference between an “aubergine” and an “eggplant”, this is not the place to be (just for the record, Canadians tend to side much more with the Americans on most vocabulary issues). There is a reasonably comprehensive coverage of this on the Internet.
It's a difficult choice. I use English for work and have to communicate with other Europeans or Asians. Everyone has their own accent and it's hard to understand each other. For this I continue to listen and study both. Do you have any recommendations? I really believe that a new language is being born which is European, ugly to listen to ;)
In my country, most private school are British English. But in a class the teacher told that American English have more value, I don’t agree with it but I began to study American English because for me British English is naturally easier for me.
I much prefer British English. When teaching ESL students I always used the British version in spelling, grammar, meaning and overall sentence structure as well as pronunciation. I did however use comparisons. What I hate about American English is the use of double negatives and saying things like " I didn't do/say nothing or they not gonna give you nothing. Pronouncing words wrong such as buoy ( Brits say boy) , Iraq, I as in it not as eyeraq. I could give loads more examples but it would take too long.Other teachers noticed that some students would have a slight Yorkshire accent even though I very rarely slipped into it while teaching. When I worked in the USA I was always mistaken for an Australian
In my opinion the same language has different nuances even in the same country where this language is spoken. For ex in Italy we have strong differences in pronunciation among regions, especially between The North and the South. So that the same problem may be found between American English and British English....I have studied British English, but I also like American. Anyway grammar should be the same and the problem could be resolved easily perhaps studying more American vocabulary, idioms....Thanks a lot for this beautiful video.
Hi Alex At the first i'm so highly happy for khown you at this time in my life I've been seeing your videos and enjoying of them since April. video's background is fantastic, indeed! I've been learned British accent for IELTS and i'm going to migrated to Europe. My generally question is : British accent learning is that correct way for this? 💙Best regards
Elevator, apartment, and both tap and faucet. 😂 We usually use the American version when given a choice, but we really are a mix of both British and American English in different ways.
Hi Alex, how's it going ?. I lived in the USA for almost 10 years and I think I learned quite enough about the language, but then I had to come back to my country but let me tell ya, I got used to american English and I think I couldn't get used to speaking the U K or Australian English, maybe because of the accent or because they don't pronounce the "R" in many words and I got used to pronouncing it all the time, well there are several reasons why I like the american English better than any other English, but your suggestions are interesting and should be taken into account, thanks for the video lesson Alex.
We can understand you clearly but some British it's not to get it 75% their words they speak quackly If you reapit again you may confuse what couse we know when we try to speak it's so difficult we know that but we do not cre But what is the difference you and that people
@@@ ... unless you're going to live in the UK you should learn Standard American English: it's more universal and it sounds much better ... period ... !!!
Hello! What does the following sentence mean: Well, don't “that” put the "Stink" in "Extinction?" Ice Age The Meltdown Context: - Sorry. My stomach hates me. - Oh. Phew! Eew! Well, don't “that” put the "Stink" in "Extinction?" Whoo! Sheesh! Eww! Nasty!

Hi Alex! Excellent explanation. I study both, but I feel more comfortable with American accent, I think it's easier to pronounce. I love both accents.
Thanks for sharing! Everyone has their preferences. :)
Can you tell me about your a way to practice

Good suggestion for language learners sir.

You're wrong about using double negatives in American English - it's not correct at all & reads lower class
I'd learn both of them 😍

Clearly Irish

Hello!
What does the following sentence mean:
Well, don't “that” put the "Stink" in "Extinction?"
Ice Age The Meltdown
Context:
- Sorry. My stomach hates me.
- Oh. Phew! Eew! Well, don't “that” put the "Stink" in "Extinction?" Whoo! Sheesh! Eww! Nasty!
What field are you in? I’m in oil and gas industry and working with American.
If so, I should learn American english…
am I right 😂
