While all of these countries share the same mother tongue, there are some differences in the way they speak and write. The first difference is in the accent. Each country has its own accent. And within each country there are a variety of accents called regional accents. Another difference is the spelling of some words, like color and colour, or theater and theatre. And a third difference is that some of the words are not the same at all. For example, Americans say restroom, Canadians say washroom, and the British say W.C. (water closet.) But all of these words have the same meaning (the room where the toilet is located.) So which English is the best English to learn? Well, there is no best English. They are all equally good and correct. But two things may help you decide which one is best for you to study. First of all, where do you live?

The second thing to think about is why you are learning English. Is it for business? travel? to watch movies? Think about the kind of English you plan to use and focus on understanding people from that area. But no matter where you study English or whether it's British, American, Australian, or whatever, it's good to know a little about English in other countries.
