The uniqueness of British pronunciation lies in the absence of vowels, which actually does not conform to the rules of English pronunciation. In fact, early English in Britain also had vowels, because English is a phonetic language, and letters and pronunciations have certain rules. If there is the letter r in the vowel combination, it is pronounced with vowels. But later, in order to distinguish themselves from the common people and show their nobility, the British aristocrats made a drastic reform in English. One of them is to remove all inflections, but the parts that should be pronounced with inflections need to be deliberately lengthened to fill the gaps in inflections.
In fact, American pronunciation follows some characteristics of early English pronunciation. Because the United States and Britain face each other across the sea, these characteristics have been preserved. Therefore, compared with British pronunciation, American pronunciation is characterized by children's voice. But you should pay attention to rolling your tongue, and you can't read it casually. Only when the letter r appears in the vowel combination can you roll your tongue, otherwise you can never roll your tongue.
Another feature of American pronunciation is exaggeration. For example, the letter o in not, not, hot and impossible is pronounced as big mouth, and there are words like last, last, fast and laugh. The letter a is pronounced plum blossom instead of big mouth.
In addition, American pronunciation has many characteristics, such as weak reading, unclear and so on. To understand all these pronunciation characteristics, it is necessary to systematically learn pronunciation knowledge and practice it constantly before you can master it thoroughly.
