Passengerx · Answer

Hi, Exclusive! I'd like to answer I'd like to study both of them two. Do you also master british English? And do you all native Americans also master british English?

Certainly thank you for your sharing!

Most of them are probably good at mimicking British accent...mostly to make fun of it <img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' alt='Emotion: smile'/>

Exclusivedo you guys learn british english or american???

Hi Exclusive, There might be most people who talk British English ..including me we all learn British English at our school here

Nona the brit · Answer

No, USA natives don't learn British English and British natives don't learn American English.

Only if you are an actor or you are messing about with an accent for a joke or something - and I have to say that 95% of American attempts at British accents are appalling! I'm sure the reverse is true too. Most people can't even do authentic sounding imitations of the different accents of their own countries.

JellYB · Answer

Hi Nona, do you think there is any difference between American English and British English?

Regards

Nona the brit · Answer

Yes they are different. Putting accent to one side, there are differences in vocabulary, spelling and grammar. Of course we can understand each other and any differences in vocab can sometimes lead to a humorous situation, but they are different.
