I don't know about you, but I can't tell the difference between American English and British English from pronunciation alone.
I suppose English was very easy to learn for you, if your native language is Faroese.

I think most of what's called social science isn't really a science. I think linguistics is the only true social science. Phonetics is without a doubt an experiment-based science, even more so now in the time of speech-recognition software. Historical linguistics is also relatively scientific. De Saussure predicted the existence of a historical Indo-European language in which 'eH' corresponds to long 'a' in other Indo-European languages, 'Ha' corresponds to short 'a', and so on, 50 years before such a language was discovered. There is, as far as I know, nothing like that happening in other social sciences.
