With all of the info above, I'm sure you'll find something that is a great fit for you. I want to wish you the best of luck!! Just one additional pointer to add to all of the wonderful aforementioned info:
There is a difference between learning American English and British English. Most differences, of course, are minor and inconsequential BUT some could be slightly troublesome - depending on your ultimate goals.
Spelling, for instance, is sometimes different.
EX: behaviour vs. behavior
specialisation vs. specialization
Unfortunately, if you spell these words wrong - in America, let's just say, you may be perceived as "not knowing how to spell"; especially if you plan to study at an American university.
Punctuation is also slightly different, specifically how a person would site sources, use hyphens/dashes, and semi-colons/commas.
EX: I can help you with pronunciation; writing; and conversation.
I can help you with pronunciation, writing, and conversation.
Again, using the "incorrect" punctuation can be perceived as a weakness in grammar - although to the other country, it is perfectly correct.
Of course pronunciation is different. The thing with pronunciation is if you learn from an American speaker AND British speaker. Combining these two can be problematic due to the pronunciation rules between the two dialects. Neither is incorrect, but it can be confusing.
As long as you know there are differences and your learning materials - whatever they may be - are geared toward your goals, you'll be just fine. In case you didn't know about the differences, I wanted to make sure you were informed. I hope this has been at least a little helpful. I know that whichever dialect you chose will be a great choice, so have fun!
GOOD LUCK!! :) :)
