Answer 2

I'll advice you to ask for some general american pronunciation rules, instead of going word-for-word. It will take answerers less time.



By the way, there are various dialects in america. This would depend much on which state you're in. It could depend somehow on if you're talking about old americans, young americans, people from cities or people from the countryside, whites or african-americans, latinos ...etc etc. They got different sosiolects.

Answer 3

This is the record of phrases having unique meanings in British and American English: A–L. For the 2d part of the list, see list of words having exclusive meanings in British and American English: M–Z.

Answer 4

We say bag different come to Wisconsin and Minnesota (been to both) they say bag with the a sound also butter we say it like budder. Some that you said we say Cecil like sea sill. We say cali (short i) forn- and the ia like nyuh so over all we just pronounce things on a longer or shorter way with vowels and consinents. Come to america and you'll see what I mean.

Answer 5

Just search them on Wiki. Also, there might be different pronunciation of words because of the different dialects within the U.S. even so, all terms should be said similarly said.
