I agree that a student should choose one variety and try to become an "expert" in that variety.
I am 75 years old, and there is still a lot about American English that I do not understand. I learn something
every day when I read the questions and answers here at usingenglish.com.
And what we generally call BrE is more often 'English English', as you'll discover if you ever have a teacher whose native variety is Scottish English, Welsh English or Irish English.If you learn English in Australia, New Zealand, etc, you learn neither BrE nor AmE. Many of us have not suffered at all from this.
- Some speakers of BrE use -ize endings in words such as realize, organize and so on.
