Some would even go so far as calling their language "American", and why not? There are several important differences with my English, British. But to say for a foreign student, that they speak English andAmerican is somewhat exaggerated. The biggest differences between British and American English are vocabulary, just as there are regional differences in any language.
Learning American Words
If you have studied English, in a traditional class, the chances of IT was based on British English. Even American teachers have little choice but to make the resources available to them, and Oxford and Cambridge University Press use dominate the world of ELT. If youStudying a course such as English or file Headway and your teacher is American, you have a good advantage, because chances are he or she will use his American vocabulary in conversation.

There is a famous songhighlights some differences in pronunciation, the word "tomato" for example. Many of the differences in the vowels can be attributed to a change of stress pattern. In the U.S., "Iraq" has its emphasis on the first syllable pronounced like "eye". not in Britain, on the other hand, the "I" is so he stressed how the "I" in "it is pronounced.
Grammar
As for grammar, is the good news that the Americans use less of the dreaded present perfect - so you have to do one thing less to worryabout. Words such as "only" always "and" already "can be used with the simple past, whereas in English, the Present Perfect.

GAO.gov (min since its over 10, I had to remove a few scenes in start to upload it) Also this from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Review, July 2006 article, 88 (4), pp. 235-49: "If the U.S. goes bankrupt?" research.stlouisfed.org "This paper examines these views from both partial and general equilibrium perspectives. It concludes that countries can go broke,that the United States is broke ...." - How can the U.S. go bankrupt if it simply print new money (U.S. dollars) at no cost? you pretend that you do not just want people too close to the money supply then see why the Fed shows M3 money supply in 2006: www.federalreserve.gov - but stopped the huge supply of newly printed U.S. dollars its value decline. Ask yourself, if the dollar declined in value against other currencies such as lately the euro, British pound, Canadian dollar? orif gold and oil will cost more in U.S. dollar lately? - In God you trust ...... But the Fed? Only an honest U.S. politician will tell you what is really going on, Ron Paul. Not only does Ron Paul questions the Federal Reserve, he also plans to shut down the IRS - if you know why, see this almost two hours long video-wonder, and I'm pretty sure you can understand that.

Gandhi speaks the truth
The similarities between the times, as governed by the British in India and the state of the world today are strikingly similar. The British would like to impose the surveillance society and tyrannical laws that exist today, especially in the U.S. and UK. Everyday the media is doing his best to convince us that a small loss of freedom here and there in order for national security purposes. Terrorism seems to be the mantra for those in power, and the measures and controlOpinion of the people. The majority will be disarmed by fear and propaganda about wars, pandemics and economic crises that lead to them living in an environment of uncertainty and hopelessness. Meanwhile, the government is busy privatizing profits and socializing losses a few too many, and expand it overseas empire in illegal wars. And if it senses in building opposition to the public, it makes use of false flag attacks to confuse them and to justify actions. Gandhi candead, but his message still relevant as it was more than 50 years, and it would serve us well to hear and think about what to say it when the people were in India from the tyrannical British Empire had been suppressed. After all, history had repeated itself only.
