BrE vs. ArE When I came to the UK, I found that there are many differences between British English and American English. When i was in China, people just know they are different from each other such as prononciation. However, teachers won't tell us which phrase or expression is BrE, which is AmE. They just mixed. But I definitely don't blame them, cuz even they are not sure about it. The problem is that if you really go to the country, you will meet some problems. eg. Before I came here, I never afraid of meeting difficulties when i chat with the local people, the thing is, however, I cant get used to the BrE, (I am in Newcastle btw, the Geordies have a strongger accent but they are sooooo friendly, believe me! ) and it bothers me. Let me tell you a story. I'm took a course named computer-assisted language learning. At the beginning of this term, I feel a little bit difficult to follow my Professor Scott, cuz he speaks fast with a heavy BrE. I told him my problem. He is vey kind and told me that I just need some time to get used to it, just don't worry. At last, he lowered his voice and leaned closer, smily said, "acctually, I can't follow Emilly, too". Emilly is my classmate, she's from America. lol........
