What is the difference between American English and British English?

The differences between American English and British English are as follows

First, pronunciation

1, er in American English is rarely voiced, and sometimes voiced vowels are used for short sounds I (such as sentimental and realistic) and U (such as wuss), or even short sounds oo (such as hooker).

2. Pronunciation in English is just a shortened long sound/? /(such as or), and the American short sound o sounds like an English short sound/? /very similar. At the same time, if a long O is followed by an R, it will usually be the child mentioned in the previous paragraph. If there is no r, it will automatically become a short sound of o pronunciation.

Second, the suffix

1. American government-funded public schools are called council school in Britain because they are under the jurisdiction of the education committee of the county council.

2. Schools called public schools in Britain and preparatory schools in the United States refer to private schools sponsored by the private sector and attended by children from wealthy families. Its purpose is to prepare students for further study in higher education institutions.

Learning English skills:

1, China people pay attention to memorizing spoken language, sentence patterns and intonation. Therefore, many people begin to appear when speaking spoken English. In fact, they are looking for what they have memorized. If he can guess, I don't think this phenomenon will happen.

2. International Phonetic Alphabet is a traditional English teaching method, but in view of the difficulty of 48 standard sounds, it is easy to form dumb English. Therefore, in recent years, the International Phonetic Alphabet has withdrawn from primary and secondary school textbooks, and the natural phonetic alphabet method is a kind of pronunciation learning based on the natural laws of language pronunciation.

We should try our best to be lucky when pronouncing, and avoid pronouncing with lungs, which can make English pronunciation loud and round.
