Default What pronunciation is easier to understand ?

Hey Guys I'm Marcelo From Chile. I study translation and after my first year at university I decided to learn the british pronunciation because I think is the most elegant. But I have some problems listening british accent not thus listening AMe pronunciation. What do you think is the easier to understand, Br or Ame pronunciation ?

Regards !

I think AmE pronunciation is easier to understand - that is, some AmE accents are.
