British English & North American English: Pronunciation & Accent Differences
Listen to the main differences in pronunciation between English native speakers from England and from Canada in this special video! Emma joins me to talk about some of the differences between the sounds of English in the UK and in the US & Canada. While each of these places has a wide variety of regional accents and dialects, we talk about some of the biggest differences between some of the most common accents in England and in North America. We’ll pronounce the same words and sentences, so that you can hear the differences and similarities clearly. Make sure you subscribe to Emma’s amazing channel to be notified when the second part of this video is published, where we talk about cultural differences between the UK and North America.Related Lessons

I got 5/6, actually, I feel Emma’s accent is easier for listen. In fact I prefer American accent to British, but I like BBC news so i usually hit difficult when listen them. Anyway thank Benjamin and Emma very much, your video is useful and interesting, hope see you next time

I believe the climate and geographic conditions may affect the people’ character and also their accent. If people live in a region or a country with a harsh environment for example, they may be stronger-willed, and their accent may, likewise, be harder. This effect can be noticed easily, when you compare the south and north England, or England and the north America.
This lesson was so helpful. I realised that I used both English and American accent time to time. An accent is born
Thanks Emma and Benjamin!
Well, I got 83%, 5 of 6 :D. It was interesting the video to understand and learn well the pronunciation and accents in both countries because being a Latin guy in Spanish wherever the place where speak Spanish the pronunciation will be the same, onle the accent will be different XD.

An informative and educational video
I just scored 6/6 I really love the British accent
fantastic video
Thank you for this class/video.
I’ve seen a lot of movies and the accent changes in many different ways, but it’s so cool at the same time, it’s the same language and different way to pronounce a word. This helps me a lot with my journey (learning English)
Take care, stay safe.
Greetings from Colombia.
Hi all Frindes
Thanks!!
if Im talking about “American English”, it goes without saying that includes all the english speaking countries (of the continent). it is not an issue when people from the US call themselves Americans, the problem is that they think they are the only Americans in America.
Thank you
Hello Emma, I noticed I usually mix both type of accents; is it wrong?..Obviously I haven’t noticed before of this video, buy I do. Thanks for helping me.
Thank you very much Mr. Benjamin and Ms. Emma.
