British VS American English which is better?

[nightwish]

I study english at the univ. and as I see the only difference between the two is the accent.
so I like to use both of them while I'm talking.

[Danyet]

Yes you are right! There is not much difference between the two except the accent.

I don't know how you learned to switch between the accents though. For me it is very hard. I speak with an Australian English accent and I can not very well switch to an American accent. When I try, it comes out like a "redneck hillbilly" accent. That seems to be the easiest for me.

Personally, American English is more suitable for me.

But I like watching Brithish English programs.

It sounds unique and interesting.

But I don't like the way Mr Bean speaking.

It sounds like gargling.

[YAYO]

This it is a good subject, I think that the Brithish is finer than american english, and the America is simple, I mean, the Brithish is elegant and formal, and pronunciacion is more pleasant for the ear.

I live in USA, but I like British English more, I don't know why.. it's just easier to understand lol.

Are you native English speaker?

[Vega]

No.. why?

Yeah, I agree with you too. It's easier to understand..

[sanjadz]

Unlike you, I think spoken American English is easier to understand than spoken British English.

[Kainha]

I like them both, however I prefer the American english because It's easier to learn and to hear.

Sometimes,I wonder why most people think American English is better. Because the original English speakers are the British.

Well, you know what? 80% people who know english speak American English.
in fact, people who speak American english ( Americans) want to learn British English (accent, pronunciation...).
there are more than 3,000 words that are different between these languages.
