Use of slang in the United States and Britain

Like the Spanish in Costa Rica and the Castilian in Spain, United States and Britain have these differences.
In the English there are differences in pronunciation (in addition, it varies within each country, as there are regional differences and different slang.) In the United States tend to be variations of the Californian and the Texan accent. In England there are many differences between the Scottish accent, Irish and within the same area as Yorkshire and Cornwall.

Often, these differences in pronunciation and vocabulary are not as perceived by someone whose first language is not English.

There are also grammatical differences, such as using the present perfect and the past in certain situations, ways of expressing possession in the past participle of the verb 'get', the use of some prepositions.

There are even some differences in writing and the use of certain words.

  2. If, you are right depends on where you go, so the accent will vary and therefore the meaning of words so it is interesting to know new cultures because you can learn a lot.
