English is English, it is related to England.
The Americans have learning challenges, this is why they try to simplify and flatten the language. One has to bear in mind that the majority of people who left the old world (mainly Europe) to live in America were outlaws who were exiled to the new land instead of being put in prisons and they hardly had decent levels of education to properly write and pronounce the language.

I don't think one is better than the other. It's whichever one you become accustomed to. I know many people (like here) would say British, but that's not fair because anyone who is just beginning to learn English doesn't know an American accent from a British one. If the English teacher speaks clearly, what does it matter the nationality?

British English. Everything else is just a butchered version.
Yeah, so I come from a butchered version english speaking country haha. However, I must say that I prefer the more 'intellectual' sounding english, opposed to the lazy english. Why pronounce th as 'ff' or 'v' ?? Or 't' as 'd'
Examples: With - wiff, water- wadder...
There are little things that drive me crazy about both of them.
I think in general most people prefer to learn American English, but I think it's important to get a grasp on all dialects of English, in order to get a firm understanding of the English language.
I have met people, who have studied American English, but cant understand American people. Then I have met people who have studied American English, and I cant understand them.
As a Native English speaker, I am accustomed to hearing and silently altering the sounds in my head to make sense of what is being said to me. Whether from a person of different nationality to me, or someone speaking broken english.
It's harder for other people learning english that do not come from multi lingual countries, or even countries with many dialects.

British English is understandable by most people in different countries. American English might only revolve in that particular country and, if they were to use it elsewhere, they might not be understood by others. Therefore, I have to say British English is my preference and I belive majority of people in the world too.

A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of online courses which teach written and spoken English. You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt
