Re: How's and House - are they pronounced differently?
Hi Kooyeen, The vowels you describe are not the same, neither in General American nor British English RP. Because of pre-fortis clipping, the diphthong in "how's" is almost twice as long as that in "house".

Re: Question about how to pronounce Europe
I'd say that there is a slight difference between the US and UK pronunciation of the word. The first syllable of Europe in British English is generally pronounced with the diphthong // while in American English it is simply with the vowel //. The diphthong // is a characteristic of British...

Re: American Eng. features in the UK
It’s rather hard to work out quite what you are looking for here. Some of these features – as Marvin A was pointing out – are not specifically American English pronunciation, but the allophonic variation that occurs in connected speech. That is, the pronunciation of some sounds is influenced...

Re: e and a
I think this is another US/Brit division.There are three diphthongs / / that are found only in British English. American English in corresponding places would have a simple vowel followed by /r/ so vary in BrE is pronounced // while in AmE it is either // or //.
