They have differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar.
How are different kinds of English different from each other
Listen and notice
As many countries speak English as a first language. There are many different kinds of English around the world: British English, American English, Australian English, and many others. Some English learners might ask, “Can English speakers from different countries all understand each other ” The answer is yes. People in these countries can usually understand each other with very few problems. There are differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, but those are usually not big problems. However, those differences can cause confusion for non-native English speakers. For example, a student who has learnt British English might not be familiar with the different vocabulary that an American might use. Listen to this conversation between a foreign language student and her American classmate.

To some students, it seems that the only foreign language to learn is English. There are, however, nearly 7, 000 languages in the world. After Chinese, the language with the most native language speakers isn't English—it's Spanish! Learning English is very useful, but it is wise to learn at least one other foreign language, if possible.
There are many reasons why people learn a foreign language. Many students choose to study one of the languages that are spoken at the UN. As they think it means better job chances in the future.
Many students
study one of the languages that are spoken at the UN
Listen and check
The UN has six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. They are spoken by around 2. 8 billion people as their native or second languages.
Some students, though, choose to study a language because of family or friends. One American girl chose to learn Danish because her grandparents were from Denmark. When she was little, her grandpa used to read letters to her in Danish from their relatives in Denmark. Another young lady started learning French because she had several friends from African countries where French is spoken.

My father is doing business with Russians. I’d like to learn Russian so I can help him in the future.
I like watching Japanese cartoons, so I’d like to learn Japanese.
Perhaps I should study French. I think, it sounds beautiful, and I know it’s used in many countries.

A: What language do you want to study
B: I really want to study French. I think that the French
language sounds beautiful.
A: Why Do you want to go to France some day

full name is in French
A: Oh, I remember that. But I don't know how to pronounce it.

English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France.
