Encontramos diferencias en ortografía, algunos puntos de gramática, pero sobre todo en el vocabulario y pronunciación.
Let's have a look at some of the examples:
1. Ortografía:

2. Gramática:

Este video que tenéis a continuación muestra a la perfección la diferencia entre el acento británico y el americano al mismo tiempo que os enseña más diferencias en el vocabulario. Espero que os guste tanto como a mí!
P.S. Watch out! The girl from Nottingham does not pronounce jumper in the way we usually hear: 'dʒʌmpə but 'dʒumpə, this is a dialectal difference. People from that part of England (Midlands) usually pronounce ʌ sounds as u.
