AS PECULIARIDADES DA LÍNGUA INGLESA

- Directly influenced by the United States, Canadians have the choice to talk of the way American or British, and despite its being more flexible most follow the British style.

- There are differences between the pronunciation of words from Canada and UK, as there is also influenced by French culture in some parts of the dialect.

Pronunciation

- The way who Canadians use the vocabulary is very similar to using Americans. But there are some variations, because the British have different words to say the same thing.

Meanings of vocabulary

- The Canadian accent tends to pronounce the vowels excess, what differentiates the British who have a speech clearer.
