American english is a lazy form of English.
It's sort of like a "slang" form English to us.
Americans proper way of speaking the language died out many years ago.
English english is a much more proper language to speak than American.
So, I deeply recommend that you learn English english.

I have to state that there is
no proper English. If you want to play that game then 'proper' English would have existed four-five hundred years ago, before England colonised other countries or the language entered countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and America. All those forms of English are as 'proper' as British English.
British English has changed and evolved just as much as American English 'many years ago', and yet it's still English. If your seriously going around saying 'By gum' or 'By Jove', or better yet talk to people like 'how art thou', then maybe I'll buy your story that the English so 'many years' ago is the real one that Americans 'should' still be speaking. Otherwise the truth of the matter is there is
only English with various subtle differences. People may prefer one over the other, but no one will ever be better because of that.
