  From Italy, thank you. <br>I&apos;m a native speaker of British English and I&apos;m teaching English to a Brazilian lady, who also knows Italian, but needs to learn English to speak with her fiancé, who is Austrian. <br>Your video is very useful because you also explain the spelling, which is a puzzle for Italians and even Brazilians because the spelling in their languages reflects the pronunciation more closely, Italian more than Portuguese. <br>Concerning the differences between British and American English, the only big difference is the short O. <br>Standard British English also has a complication in the short A, as some words like class, grass and chance are pronounced with a vowel more similar to your short O. This is referred to as the &quot;Trap-Bath split&quot;. I say &quot;Standard British English&quot;, what many Americans call the &quot;King&apos;s English&quot;, because in some parts of the British Isles (UK and Ireland), they pronounce these words with the same short A as the Americans. I have read that this is because this pronunciation change took place after the separation of American and British English. &nbsp;<br>Thanks. Grazie. Obrigado.<br>PS. Have you done a video for the different short U sound in words like put, pull, wool, wood, foot, etc.<br>PPS. Your &quot;would&quot;, &quot;should&quot; video describes this vowel, but not for the words I mentioned, except wood.
