    Difference/ BE and AE accent
    Message from take5 posted on 09-11-2011 at 01:38:08 (D | E | F)
    Hi there,

    I'm tawfik, I'm a new user so I'm in need for some help about the difference between the American accent and the British one.
    If anyone has a good idea about that please send me as soon as possible.
    Have a nice day,

    This page talks more in depth about pronunciation. I also learned that in many loanwords from French, Americans stress the final syllable, whereas the British stress the first.
