British English and American English
I was taught British English back in School, but nowadays I'm learning ESLpod which is American English. Will it be strange if I speak a kind of English that is half British and half American？

It won't be strange. Except for some minor spelling differences and slang, they are quite similar.

The grammar is different. My impression is that mostly American English allows things that British does not. Again, should not be a problem. Have to get used to using "gotten" often & a lot more flexibly. Also a tendency to use adjectives where British English uses adverbs.

No, you should be fine. The main difference between the two is accent. There are also spelling differences and, of course, different idioms. But if you have a mix of American and British English, there should be no problem. You might say some expressions that Americans don't understand, but the bulk of the language is the same.
