Do you prefer American pronunciation or English pronunciation ?

Do you prefer American pronunciation or English pronunciation ? I have been studied in American English for many years and I found it's hard for me to understand the pronunciation of the British English in some TV series. I think I am supporsed to improve my listening skills.

I think it depends. I hate American English in general, but I do agree that sometimes American English sounds good in music and in films. For students to understand, American English might be a bit easier to understand. It depends on the accent of the Brit.

There are many American accents (New York City alone has quite a few), and there are many different British ones. In general, British people tend not to pronounce 'r's coming after vowels, or pronounce them less, so 'car' sounds like 'ka'. I am American. My British wife insists that 'hairy' and 'Harry' are pronounced differently, but not only do I disagree, I can't tell the difference when she says them.

I prefer british pronunciation even though I have spoken and learned american english for about 10 years. I think british pronunciation is more nice, but I really don't understand a british dialect called Cockney.
