Dear Sirs,
I am planning to attend a language course in order to improve my English. I would like to know whether to learn British or American English. Which is better? Must I have a British teacher if I wish to learn British English?
Yours truly,
Manuel Gonzales

The editor’s reply:
English is a global language with many varieties.American and British English are the two main varieties. Each has many accents:the English of a Bostonian,for example,sounds very different from that of a Texan.
The major differences between American and British English are essentially differences of accent,inflection(词尾变化),spelling and,above all,vocabulary.Variations in tense usage exist but are not a big problem for learners of English.Some people claim that British English is superior to American English but really it is a matter of one’s own preference and needs as to which variety is learnt.So,“useful” is probably a more appropriate word than “better”.
If you need to use English only with British people(for example,if you are going to live in the United Kingdom),then it will probably be a good idea to have at least one British teacher on your program.
However,in a lot of cases,learners of English as a foreign language need to use it to communicate with native speakers from all over the world.Many will need to speak English with other non-native speakers(for example,a Swede with an Italian).In such cases,it doesn’t matter whether your teacher is American or British.
