It really depends on where you are, I think in Europe the English taught at school and considered the regular one is British English, but if you take movies/series/music, the broader one is US English.
- simiones 5y agoIn Romania at least, the English taught in school is American English, not British English.
- cromka 5y agoI think it's the same in Scandinavia.
- spockz 5y agoI suppose this depends on your school/teacher. Our English teacher went out of her way to always teach proper (British) English and point out any differences with American English sometimes with an history lesson added.
- hattmall 5y agoHow many differences are there really?
- kadoban 5y agoQuite a few. Spelling and pronunciation are quite different, and also a bunch of words and idioms that don't match. Not enough to prevent mutual understanding, but it can get close. As an American, if I haven't watched any British TV for a while and try, there's a good few minutes where I have to listen to most of it twice to be able to understand what was said.
