Difference British and American in Pronouncing English

Now, I will share about some different way of American and British in pronouncing some word for further understanding, please learn through this video from a youtube account, Anglo-link. Well, here's some differences of American and British English  pronouncing some words :
* R

  •  When letter "r" were in the initial or in the middle position, there were a huge difference of American and British pronounce 
  •  When the letter "r" were in the middle or at the end of word, in a monosyllabic word and after a vowel, British tend to drop it, but in American English there's no difference. 
* T

  • British : letter " t " is always pronounce as [ t ]
  • American : drop the " t" in the final position ( e.g table, attain, what, cut, etc. )  , sometimes change into [d] when "t" were in the middle position when its between two vowel or between "r" and the vowel ( e.g Saturday , what about, party , etc) , sometimes "t" drop after an "n" (e.g centre, interview, internet, etc. )
* Some other common word pronounce different way between American and British are : z, new, adult, brochure, garage, etc.
