Some people don't know whether to learn American English or British English. Here is my answer to it.
It's really, really hard to pick up a native sounding accent (口音) if you learn English as an adult. Children pick up accents very quickly, but adults don't. Even after speaking English every day for twenty or thirty years, you'll probably keep a bit of a foreign accent. I've met many English learners who've lived abroad for several years in an English speaking country. For the most part, I can't tell what country they've lived in unless they tell me.
Since it's so hard to learn an accent, you probably shouldn't spend a lot of time trying to guide yours to one accent or the other. There are better ways to use your time, like learning new vocabulary or phrases.
Even if you are able to get an American or British accent, it won't make much difference. That's because English speakers are used to hearing different accents. Americans hear British accents on TV and movies. And we all hear accents from other countries: Russian accents, Korean accents, French accents, and so on. Usually, British people like the way that Americans sound, and Americans like the way that British people sound. So you're OK eitherway.
So just pick whatever language is most convenient (方便的) for you. If you have friends or teachers from America, you should probably learn American English. If you have British friends or coworkers, maybe it's better to learn British English.
It's probably easiest to stick with (保持) just one kind. However, there's nothing wrong with mixing a bit of British and American English together. It won't hurt you!

Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels (元音) pronounced shorter and shorter.From the 16th century the British had contact (接触) with many people from around the world.This meant that many new words and phrases entered the language.The invention of printing also meant that there was now a common language in print.Books became cheaper and more people learned to read.Spelling and grammar became fixed, and the dialect of London became the standard.In 1604 the first English dictionary came out.
Early Modern English and Late Modern English are mostly different in the number of words.Late Modern English has many more words, mainly because of the following two reasons: First, the Industrial Revolution (工业革命) led to the need for new words.Second, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth's surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.
From around 1600, the English colonization (殖民地化) of North America led to American English.Some English pronunciations and words froze when they reached America.In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English.Some expressions that are called “Americanisms” are in fact from British expressions.They were kept in the colonies while lost for a time in Britain.Spanish also had an influence on American English.For example, words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante are from Spanish.French words and West African words (through the slave trade) also influenced American English.
Today, American English has a greater influence, because of the USA's movies, television, popular music, trade and technology.
