: Is it really that difficult?
Well, I guess you and I have studied English and not learned American or
Brittish English when we were children. Think about those words as
something you _never_ use: Those are like words taken from a different
language.
: > Do British people have the same
: >problem with American words?
: I think it's easier for us Europeans (native English speaking or not)
: to understand American words and cultural quirks than the other way
: round, because we're constantly immersed in American language and
: American culture via the media.
Maybe we should immerse Americans in European culture. :)

I don't know much about Australian English, but are there same kind of
problems between it and American and Brittish English ?
