Learn american english and british english at the same time!!

http://www.anglo-link.com/index.php?/online_lessons/video_lessons??topic=all&vid=BvA1&page=1 this video is about the difference between British English and American english, we should listen about the Accent, Anglo is British, and her partner Rachel is an American.
rachel also a youtuber, and she is focussing on American Prononciation, Rhytme on American English, and in this video they are focussing on Consonant [r] and [t] and also common words that pronoun Differently in American English and British English.

when letter [r] is in initial position or in the middle position of the words, there is an huge difference between american and british people prononciate it and just try listen to anglo and rachel.

Anglo: rain [reIn]
Rachel: rain [reIn] even though it's same, but the way they are prononciate it is different, and by listening to this video, you can explain the difference.
and when letetr [r] is in the middle of words in a monosyllabic word = having only one syllable and after a vowel, in british people is dropped they also dropped the letter [r] in the end of words, ex (other).
when in american english, there is no different.
and just listen what anglo and rachel said this following word:
-Birth
- learn
- work
- germ
- farm
- other
- clever
- director

and when they are talking about letter [t] weather it is in the beginning of the word, in the middle of the word or the end of the word, (table) (attain) (cut)
when british people read [t] in the end of the word, american people usually dropped the [t] letter in the end of word, example (cut).

and sometimes british people also dropped [t] after [n] example (Centre)
- centre
- interview
- internet

and just listen to it and try to follow what they've said, and i guess it's good example to learn about british accent and american accent at the same time :)
