Public schools in the former British colony still teach mostly British English. But the number of private language schools teaching American English is growing.

　　In Hong Kong’s Tseung Kwan O district, for example, the American English Workshop school had 20 students a week when it opened one year ago. Today, ithas more than 180 each week.

　　Some observers say American English is becoming the language of international business. Increased contact with American culture, like movies, television programs, computer games and the Internet is spreading American expressions and accents in areas other than business.

　　But for now, people hearing English in the streets of Hong Kong are mainly hearing traditional British English.

　　“We can understand both, but for what we speak, we speak with the British accent, ”said one local woman.

　　“The British is better I think, ”commented a local man.
