English for compulsory education is American. Grammatically speaking, English is almost the same as American English. The differences are mainly manifested in accents, vocabulary and idioms. English textbooks are mainly American English, and tape recording is also mainly American English. The pronunciation of school textbooks is all American.

There are still differences between British English and American English:

1. Different intonations. American English has a strong sense of ups and downs when speaking, and pays attention to cadence; But British English sounds dull and changes little.

The most obvious difference between English and American English is the words used. The same thing is called differently in America and Britain.

3. The unstressed letter E is often pronounced as /e/ in American English and /i/ in British English.

4. When the unvoiced consonant /t/ is sandwiched between two vowels, the former is stressed and the latter is lightly read. Americans are used to reading unvoiced consonants, so the pronunciation of writer and rider is almost the same.

5. Changes of individual letters in words. Words ending in ence are ense in American English, such as defense (English) /defense (America).

6. American English and British English use the same grammatical system, but in some cases, especially when providing information, American English uses the past tense, while British English uses the present perfect tense.

Therefore, compared with British English, American English is more inclusive and diverse, and the absorption and reference of various cultures also integrates the linguistic characteristics of various cultures. The vocabulary used in Britain is more retro and traditional.
