One difference between British English and American English is the use of the /j/ "y" sound in words like new, due, and tune. In American English, these words only have the vowel /u/ "oo" sound: "noo, doo, toon," and in British and other dialects of English they have the glide /j/ before the /u/: "nyou, dyou, tyoun." In American English, we use the /u/ vowel in some words by itself, and in other words, we use a glide together with the /u/ vowel (/ju/).
