A student is learning to speak British English. He wants to know: Can I speak with American? Can they
understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British English and
American English ? How important are these differences?
Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few
differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say " in hospital" and " Have you a pen"
Americans say " in the hospital" and " Do you have a pen?" Pronunciation is sometimes different .
Americans usually sound the 'r's in words like " bird" and " hurt" . Speakers of British English do not sound
the 'r's in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and
vocabulary. For example, "colour" and "honour" are British English. " Color" and "honor" are American
English. These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however,
for the most part, British and American English are the same language.
