    American English vs British English: 55 differences! How many did you know? Can you think of any others? Our American friends have different names for things than us in the UK. If you are learning English as a 2nd language it can get confusing. If you want to learn the British accent it's useful to know some of these differences.

    Right before the part when you were talking about the anesthesiologist, you said that a person “had an accident” and “needed an operation” I found this interesting because it would have been said differently in America, or at least on the west coast. I would have said that that person “had been in an accident” and “needed surgery”. I think this is so cool, how we both speak the English language, but there are so many differences!

    "Yard" is the general area. "Garden" implies you're purposefully growing things like flowers and vegetables and stuff within the yard and the area is not meant for anything else. If you're just referring to the grass it's a "lawn".
    Parentheses () and brackets [] are different things.

      A lot of British people are somewhat mixed, or use both the local & American versions of at least some of these examples. American popular culture has a huge influence worldwide especially in another English speaking country. But there's a limit, you'd get very strange looks for saying ''realtor'' for example and most people probably don't even know what faucet means.

    • @agam6534
      @agam6534 Před 4 lety +2

      Because knowledge of a British version is a requirement, but American is more in common (at least im my country, Poland, and I'm wondering if I've written this without any gramatical mistake).
      Basically, isn't a pure British accent and pronounciation just like Hermione Granger's?
      And how do you read (both Americans and Brits, or whoever had English as a first language :D) "Chicago"? "Ch" is like you normally read it in "chicken", "cheese" etc. or do you read it as you would normally read "Sh"? Cause in Poland we commonly read it as „Sh" but our English teacher said once the other option and we all were surprised.
