Introduction


       When I began studying this chapter I was able to learn how English is pronounced with the accent that is used in England. “The pronunciation that you are likely to hear from most Americans does sound noticeably different from BBC pronounciation”.For this reason it is really important to notice the difference between the American and British pronunciation because in that way we will be able to avoid misunderstandings just at the moment to communicate with others. On the other hand, there was something that really got my attention that was that the accent can be pronounced differently according to the geographical places from different social clases, of different ages and different educational background. Besides, the term accent is generally confused with the term dialect; however, the word dialect is the variation of a language, not only in pronunciation, but also in the use of vocabulary, grammar and word order.
