British vocabulary / American vocabulary
My recording
has to do with: relates to, affects, appertains to, applies to. cheerio!: good bye, good luck.
cheerio (without exclamation sign): cereal Taking the piss is a colloquial term meaning to mock at the expense of others, or to be joking, without the element of offence.
I feel you: I undertand. no My cup of tea: it's not what you like or what you're interested in. proper good: real good. sweet. yeah: excellent! I'm down: you're agreeing to do what the person is asking. Dude: man. Wicked: literally evil if you know a friend you can talk with him her like a dude. Yikes: uff, is an interjection of surprise, alarm, or concern and is often used to respond to an awkward remark. I'm buzzing: be very excited and happy. cheers: hello, goodbye, to thank you, and no, thank you, to formal or informal toasts at the bar. I must insist that you remember we invented the English Language: Sounds like they are friends since a lot of years ago, or they have a good master language, because they use slang and idioms.

What are the main differences between the British accent and the American accent? Which one is easier to learn for a non-native English speaker?
some words could be easy to learn and others not. for example the word "water" in U.S. English. I think it is easier to learn than U.K. English.
some words that probably you think are the same could be another meaning.
the spelling could be different like the case of color and colour.
often British accents don't apply the r sound or coloring sound but in the United States applied it. (go to review the English pronunciation intermediate of she, teacher Mariana). If you want to develop your listening skill foremost you necessarily need to know at least a little about British and United States English. around me, there is a lot of United States English content, YouTube, etc. And** a lot of movies are in United States English**, in my opinion. And I know if you want to have good work if you are near to the USA the most probable language which can help you is English from the USA. but also, if you have a good internet connection you can have a work online.
But at the end of the day, is your decision, you can prove what you can take, something that adapts to you. and it depends, on where you live close to England or close to the USA. even your acquaintances can help you to decide if they have experience in the language. Try looking for yourself around the internet are a lot of explanations. I hope this will help you.
Slang is a very informal language (words, idioms and expressions).
It is used between people who belong to the same social group and that know each other well or have the same interests.
It’s more used when speaking rather than in writing.
An accent has to do with your context and your culture. Pronunciation has to do with good diction, with breathing, with having a good placement when you are pronouncing words. It has to do with talking English in a clearer way.
