British English or American English?
As an American, naturally I speak American English. As to which one is better to learn, British English or American English, that all depends on (where you are going) or which particular culture you're interested in. If you're going to America, (it would be wise) to learn American English. If it's England (you're going to), then study the English of its mother country.
As to which language is better, the question is a silly one. Naturally, England is the country of origin of the English language, but all languages (change over time). The English today do not speak like Shakespeare. Despite the differences in pronunciation, some spelling, and (some everyday vocabulary), English speakers, for the most part, (have no trouble understanding) each other. No matter what type of English you study, if you master the grammar, pronunciation, and the vocabulary (we all share), it should not be a problem to be understood by English speakers (wherever you go).

短文填空 Hippo (网站名) is well (known) for its slogan, "Anyone can speak 7 languages." These seven languages are: Spanish, Korean, English, Japanese, German, Chinese and French. If you look around the world, there are more multilingual (多语言的) nations, like Kenya, than countries like Japan (where) only one language is spoken. For example, in (Luxembourg) everyone speaks Luxembourgish, German, French and English. In India, there are between 100 and 200 languages (in use). Many Indians hear five to ten languages and can speak and understand them this does not (necessarily) mean that Japanese people who speak only one language are less (intelligent) or that people who speak many languages are smarter. Anyone who lives in a multilingual environment, (regardless of) how intelligent or unintelligent they are, will (naturally) learn to understand and speak languages that are (consistently) spoken around them. So, if you were born in Luxembourg you would be speaking (four) languages.
