I have a problem in understanding British accent If someone ask me question: Which accent do you like? British or American? I definitely will say the American accent! Why? Because I cannot understand British accent AT ALL! Why? Because when I started learnning English in primary school, I did learn British English, but somehow I only focus on memorizing the American pronunciation, and watching American movies and TV series. Which is ironic that sometimes I use British English in my writing. hahah... No offend to the British English, I just want to tell you my situation. lol... These days I watch an American English cartoon and a British TV series. Guess what? I can understand the cartoon well without subtitle, well... maybe only 80%, but it's very clear to hear each word, I love it! But for the British series, I am so sorry, it's really hard to understand what they say, and sometimes with the help of the subtitle, I even cannot understand clearly. Not only the British accent, I think I also have problem to understand other accents. I need English cartoons, because my friend 小P狼 told me English cartoon is specially for English spoken kids and non English speakers, haha... Yeah, I agree with him. So, is there any cartoon with different English accent? I'll appreciate that if you can send me the link. Thank you so so much! :) Have a nice day! :)

I have a problem in understanding British accent

If someone asks me the question: Which accent do you like (I think "prefer" here would be better but you're still correct of course)? British or American? I would definitely will say the American accent!

Which is ironic because that sometimes I use British English spelling in my writing. hahah... No offend offence to the British people English, I'm just want to telling you my situation. lol...

These days, I've been watching an American English cartoon and a British TV series. Guess what? I can understand the cartoon well without subtitles, well... maybe only 80%, but it's very easy to clearly to hear each word, I love it! But as for the British series, I am so sorry, it's really hard to understand what they're saying, and even with the help of subtitles sometimes, I even cannot understand clearly.

@ BOA: Thank you so much for the links and your advise! I appreciate that. I used to try to listen to BBC English and BBC news, but it was frustrated. After I watched the Harry Porter series, I felt depressed. So I didn't pay more attention to the British accent any more. Until now, I'm watching a great British TV series, I love it! And I want to learn that accent again. haha... I am too wordy, sorry. But thanks again! :)
