Which variant of English is preferable for an IT student to learn?

Question

Freelance

I'm starting to learn English (better late than never =), I was puzzled by the question - is it the British or American version to study? Which option is better for reading technical literature, communicating on upWork , when working in outsourcing ?

Answer 1

For a beginner to learn a language, it makes no sense to think about it at all. If you still get such a choice - choose the American one, you will not be mistaken. On the upwork you will find both Chinese and Australian, and French versions of English :) But American is a universal choice.

Answer 2

Whatever you learn, you will get Russian English :)

Answer 3

American, but in fact there are more differences in pronunciation. Therefore, it is not so critical.

Answer 4

No significant difference

Answer 5

The customer does not care about your level of knowledge of the language, unless you write custom articles.
You can communicate absolutely clumsily.
They don't care.
American English, of course.
80% of IT - in the USA.
But the British one (if you have any realistic options like an internship) is no worse.

Answer 6

British or American version to study?

The technical terms are the same, so for reading only the vocabulary is important. To communicate with customers, of course, you can attend to the knowledge of some Americanisms, but this is not critical.

Answer 7

There is no difference between them, the difference is only in pronunciation.

Answer 8

No difference.
The differences are not so fundamental.
Well, you have to remember 2 dozen different words that denote technical things.
The main part of the new technical terms is unified.
Learn what is more convenient.
