I find myself run into American English more in tech, films and conversation with friends. Do you know how to pronounce words like world, pull, judge right? Depend on your country of origin and mother tongue, some sounds are easy to learn, while some sounds are very difficult. If you happen to travel a lot and meet people from different countries, you will be familiar with different versions of English and have high tolerance for pronunciation errors. Some people, on the other hand, have very low tolerance and can only understand you when you say the words correctly, it is either 0 or 1.
Habit is hard to change, especially when you learned the wrong habit. Here are some links to tackle some very important pronunciation you might overlook.
