D:

Answer 1

why does it matter as long as you speak english?

Answer 2

read english newspapers

Answer 3

Just tell those silly Italians "What you want and what you get are two different things."

Speak how YOU want to speak, and s***w everyone else.

Answer 4

You're not going to learn how to speak English like the British unless you hang out with British people. Maybe rent some newer British TV shows like "The Office" or "Little Britain"....

Both are hilarious, by the way....

Answer 5

start trying to speak as if your nose was clogged because of a bad cold.

search for an online free dictionary that shows the differences in words applied such as "sweets" instead of "candy" etc. You'll get the hang of it

just "play the Brit" There Italians, they'll love you.

p.s. don't have to stay away from the real British in case you come across one or the other fellow, they can't even imagine anyone making a parody on them but themselves that they'll simply find charming, deaaar...:-)

Answer 6

They're not extremely different -- I speak British English and I can understand what you're saying, word for word.

You just need to forget about some American words such as Trash, or Zero etc and change them to British words such as Rubbish and Nought.

It's not hard, I can switch between American and British English with no complications.
