Description
American English has a dominant influence throughout the world, not only in business communication but also through its use in the media and the popularity of American films and popular music. It differs from British English mainly in the spelling of some words, partly different vocabulary and pronunciation. This Czech-language conversation guide explains the principal differences, including spelling such as favorite, honor, center and meter, and vocabulary such as elevator, apartment, gas, candy and French fries. It also outlines the generally harder American pronunciation and the regional variation in accents across the United States. When travelling to the New World, readers can use the conversation guide together with its two-way dictionary, grammar overview and useful pronunciation transcription.
