-ize (realize...)	-ise (realise...)
-og (dialog, analog...)	-ogue (dialogue, analogue…)
-or (color, favor, labor...)	-our (colour, favour, labour...)

-These are the most of pronunciation differences. 

INGLÉS AMERICANO	INGLÉS BRITÁNICO
there (dear)	there (der)
hair (jear)	hair (jer)
bottle (boral)	bottle (botal)

-En el inglés Americano, normalmente, cuando en el Británico pronuncian "a",   pronuncian "e".

Ejemplo: carry (U.K: a / U.S.A: e), stand (U.K: a / U.S.A: e), dance (U.K: a / U.S.A: e)....etc.  

-En el inglés de U.S.A, la "tl", "ttl", "t" o "tt" se pronuncian "r" y en cambio en U.K, se pronuncia "t".

Ejemplo: Bottle [U.K: t (botal)  / U.S.A: r (boral)], pretty [U.K: t (priti)  / U.S.A: r (priri)].......etc.      

And much more.

El inglés estadounidense es más practico (por decirlo de alguna manera), ya que lo acortan. 

Por ejemplo: gotta - got to / wanna - want to / gonna - going to / outta - out of /  

Whatchu doing - What are you doing (hablado)...etc.

Estas son las diferencias más importantes. Espero que os sirvan de ayuda.

Christmas Songs

Good morning!
I'm back again.
Now that we are on Christmas, people sing Christmas Carols.
This is a nice way to practice English. So I've posted a video with its lyrics, sing it and if you don't understand some word, look it up on the dictionary. 

ACTIVITIES


1)Sing the song, trying to pronounce it as good as possible.


2)Then, translate the lyrics below, trying to do it with no dictionary. But if you don't know it, you could look it up. (It's not necessary to translate the part that it's repeated).

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
They used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history

Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
You'll go down in history

Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph

Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph

Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph, guide my sleigh
Hey Rudolph 

-I wish a merry Christmas to everybody. Have a good time.


 
I also post another Christmas Carol, to listen and sing. (If you feel like, You may do the same as above)
