Today I'm answering the very common question.

Should I learn American or British English?

This is a question you need to ask yourself every single time that you think about taking learning English seriously, mainly because if you learn a mixture off different accents and types off, the English language is going to completely confused people when you finally use it.

If you use a British slang term and then suddenly went off and said an American word, which means something completely different to an English word, it would completely confuse someone's brain.

So before you take any steps further with learning English, whether you're advanced intermediate beginner, you need to decide on what type of English you're learning.

Obviously, there's two main options, and this is American English or British English.

Being British myself, I'm obviously going to be very biased about my own language.

Let's say I'm proud to have a British accent and to speak the British language, but that doesn't mean that the American language isn't a great language.

They have their own terms, just like we have our own phrases.

We have our own poetic expressions, and we have our own slang words.

Obviously, I know Maura about my language than I do about the American language.

Both of them are great on the same with Australian, South Africa, New Zealand, Canadian.

There's so many English speaking countries in the world, so you do have a lot of options.

So the first thing that I want you to discover and to think about is what do you like the sound off the most?

There's those of different things that you have probably being exposed to at some point in your life on Do you need to think about what you like, the sound off the most on?

If you're not sure, then imagine yourself speaking this accent.

Do you like the sound of that you hear in your head off yourself?

Can you imagine yourself speaking with a British accent, for example?

So that's something first of all to think about after this, you also need to think about business.

Do you want to work in an English in a English speaking environment.

If so, do you want to work for an American company?

Do you want to work for a British company?

Obviously, if you work for an American company, it would make sense to learn American English.

Or else there would be probably a few complications down the road at some point.

Next, do you think need to think off holidays, Andi, Let's say working holidays or so do you ever want to visit England?

Maybe you want to do a year off working in one of these countries.

Or maybe one day you want to live in one of these countries, you need to

think about which country is that you want to live in.

Well, maybe I should learn that type of English and just focus on that type of English.

Another thing which people forget is, Do you have friends?

You are from England, Or do you have friends that are from America?

Maybe your family, Maybe your dad or mom or your sister have friends who are from England, for example.

This could make it a lot easier and cheaper for you to learn English because you will have those resource is right there ready to help you, so that could speed up the process off you learning English and make it a little bit easier.

The best thing about English is, once you finally get fluent in one of thes topics, let's say British English say you're taking lessons with me and you finally become fluent on ready.

You will then be ready to start learning American English.

You can start learning all kinds of different things about different countries that speak English because you already have that understanding.

There's so many different accents in both America.

ANDI, England Sometimes people in England don't understand other people in England because the accents are so different, so as well, a slang, terms and idioms.

You could also learn different accents and understand how different cultures speak with each other in different parts of different countries.

The main kind of moral off this lesson is you need to think about what's going to benefit you the most, which type off English is going to benefit you the most.

Do you want to work for an American company.

You need to take some time to decide what type of English she wants alone.

It can change your whole learning experience.

I will say that it has been said by many, many people that British English is harder, a little bit harder than American to learn.

But I think when something is harder, there's always more benefits in the long run.
