Listen closely to British and American English, and you will notice that, even though they are the same language, there are many pronunciation differences between them. In British English, for example, we tend to make the R sound much less pronounced, even if it is in the spelling of the word. Also, the syllable or is pronounced more like aw. So these words sound very different in British English and American English.
