American English has more and more been moving into focus in recent years through movies, TV shows, exchange programs, politics etc. While there are still people who consider American English inferior to British English, there is no proper reason to do so. American English is a vivid language, adopted more and more by learners of English as the variety of choice, with unique features in terms of pronunciation but also in grammar. In this class we will investigate what it means to speak American English. We will look at the history of this particular variety, differences in dialects and accent across the United States, but also at aspects specific to American English. |
