British english is the best, no discution about that.

American English accent is actually older than British :-)

[@Wiktor12339]

BFFlores And that's why in America survived the old British accent ( with Rhotic sound ), while in most of Britain it changed dramatically through many reforms. That's why American accent is pretty similar to Canadian one and to some Irish accents, but not to British. Though American spelling (for example colour -> color ) was made up.

[@andrewsmith74]

Why did Americans change the spellings of many words?

[@Leo-vr3bg]

Because they wanted more literate people, so they changed spellings to what they sound like, they also campaigned for women to be speeled wimmen.

[@andrewsmith74]

That Contra Guy How about using different words for the same thing and the same words for different things - why did they start doing that?

[@victorianweke9560]

Thank you so much for this video . I've always had a hard time pronouncing "Jewellery and Generally".

[@VitorEmanuelOliver]

I don't get it. What's the right way to pronounce pizza in Italian then? In portuguese we say "peetza" too...

[@zmast333]

I'm italian, that's exactly how i say it. Maybe, as i think Rodolfo is suggesting, the last A is somewhat more open than the /ə/. But, since we don't have so many slightly different sounds, even if you say /ə/ (which doesn't exist in Italian), people will hear /a/.

[@Wysch]

Yea, well, try to pronounce the "ee" sound shorter, more into "pittsa". It's not like when you say the name "Pete", it's more like when you say "Pittsburgh", if you know what I mean. Just don't forget the emphasis.

[@Hubris1998]

Vitor Emanuel Oliveira As long as you don't say "pixa" it's ok (If you go to spain you will hear half of the people pronounce it that way)

[@randombabytoys1843]

how do you pronounce: Lieutenant, and colonel

[@lzjv2975]

tchevrier lutenant, kernel, if i am not mistaken

[@tchevrier]

in canada and the UK it is pronounced "leftenant"

[@lauragarnham77]

I'm british but I generally read/pronounce lieutenant as lewtenant, I know that 'leftenant' is a thing but hadn't realised it was the same thing until really recently. Its kinda hard to break a habit and I'm not that bothered about doing so, though sometimes now I'll read it as leftenant. I don't think I've ever used it in converstation.

I dunno why Broccoli became a english word when is Italian the same way as Pizza is XD (by the way i didn't got much the difference in pruninciation.. you spell it nearly identical as the normal Pizza word!, maybe too much time with italian friends? i know we can be some kind of desease when we talk and infect other people with our way to say things..XD ) When i was in ireland someone had the guts to tell me QUATTRO was a english word!! would you believe it?.... i was shocked to death.. i mean... c'mon.. quattro it's totally italian even if american/english people got it into their vocabulary it doesn't mean it's english. But i had jewerly right!!! when i was a children i think i become stupid just to understand how to say that word, but after many videogames... i was enlighted XD
